In recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation is pleased to announce that it has received a voluntary contribution of $500,000 from the United States to support the creation of the Auschwitz Art Exhibit, allowing for the exhibition of 4,000 sketches, drawings, and paintings created by prisoners and survivors of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz. Most of these pieces have never been displayed.
In 2026, fifty student groups from Baden-Württemberg will visit the Auschwitz Museum online through the platform "Auschwitz. In front of your eyes". This is a result of a special agreement signed by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport of this German federal state and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
On 16 October, the ministers responsible for education in all German states took part in a special online tour of the Auschwitz Memorial through the platform “Auschwitz in Front of Your Eyes.
Starting from January 22, visitors participating in guided study tours can access the former bathhouse building in section BIb of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp. This historic structure has been extensively conserved thanks to the financial support of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
On 9 October, the 15th session of the International Committee of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation was held at the Auschwitz Memorial. It was attended by representatives of the countries supporting the Foundation’s efforts to preserve the Auschwitz Memorial.
