New English Language Edition of "Oś" Monthly Magazine. Interview with Dr. Piotr M.A. Cywiński.
The last five years at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum have been a period of considerable changes: attendance has constantly grown to new record highs, a new main exhibition is under construction, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation has been created for funding maintenance of the authentic Memorial Site, and a new visitors center is being created. In this edition of Oś we publish an extensive interview with Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, who has directed the Museum for the last five years.
In the September edition, we also report on two round anniversaries, that took place in August and in September: the murder of Saint Maximilian Kolbe, as well as the first experiment in mass killing through the use of Zyclone B. Both of these events had their place in the cellar of Block number 11 (pictured on the cover), the building that prisoners named the “Death Block.”
We also recommend reading an article by the volunteers from abroad, who worked in the past year at the International Youth Meeting Center. It recounts how they view the history of Auschwitz, as well as life in modern day Oświęcim.
On the pages of the Center for Dialogue and Prayer, you can read about the commemoration of the death of Edith Stein, known today as Saint Teresia Benedicta of the Cross. We also invite you to take a walk down the path of the Jewish History of Oświęcim.
