More than 200,000 students from over 10,000 Italian schools took part in a special, showcase online visit to the Auschwitz Memorial on 26 January. This was made possible thanks to the platform “Auschwitz. In Front of Your Eyes”.
433 historical documents scheduled for sale at an auction house in Neuss, Germany, in November last year, were entrusted to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation. The official handover took place on 30 January at the seat of the parliament of the German federal state of North Rhine–Westphalia.
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.
Ireland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Helen McEntee, has announced a €100,000 contribution to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation to support the development of online visits to the Memorial Site for secondary school students in Ireland.
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.
