A new visitors’ center was established at the Auschwitz Museum in Poland.
“This is due to the growing number of visitors and the need to create a new space for them with a wide parking lot from where the visitors will be able to reach the camp site through an
underground passage which will be built on top of its historical buildings and facilitate access to them says Andrzej Kacorzyk, the deputy director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and
head of the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust.
The construction is expected to be completed in 2022 thanks to the significant financial support of the European Union and the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
The new building will include a counter providing information about camp inmates, a screening room with a new
documentary movie, a new exhibition about the history of the 30s that preceded World War II, the rise of Nazism, the Nazi conspiracy, the ruling totalitarian regime, the outbreak of the war and
Nazi policy on the territory of occupied Poland.
