Among 34,000 people in the town of Oświęcim is just one Jew – a young Israeli named Hila Weisz-Gut. It’s an interesting choice of residence, given the most famous feature of the town is its proximity to the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz – where at least 1.

Weisz-Gut works at the local Jewish museum, which aims to draw attention to the town’s once-thriving pre-Holocaust Jewish community.

One man's daring mission to infiltrate Auschwitz revealed its atrocities to the world – this is his story.

Russian diplomats will not participate in the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in Oświęcim, announced Sergey Andreev, the Russian ambassador to Poland.

Inside the Auschwitz, Soviet soldiers liberated roughly 7,000 prisoners who had been brutalized by a Nazi regime hell-bent on exterminating the Jewish people.

Holocaust survivors and world leaders attended ceremonies in Poland on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

"Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away." will open at Union Terminal on Oct. 18 2025, and is the most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the history of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp ever presented in North America.

The Auschwitz Jewish Center will hold Shacharit morning prayer services at 9:30 a.m. in its historic building, once home to the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue. The service will be followed by the opportunity to explore the museum.

Holocaust survivors and world leaders gathered in Poland on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp, where the Nazi Germans killed more than 1.1 million people during World War II.

The solemn commemoration came amid a worldwide spike in antisemitism and new surveys suggesting basic knowledge of the Holocaust is eroding.

The house, until this year, had always been in private hands. A U.S.-based group, the "Counter Extremism Project," has purchased it. Now, in conjunction with the Auschwitz Museum and UNESCO, they have created "The Auschwitz Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalisation." The home is now open to the public for the first time.

Monday's ceremony is widely being treated as the last major observance that any notable number of survivors will be able to attend.
