The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust |
 The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust was created by a decision of the Polish government in June 2005. Five months earlier, on January 27, 2005, during commemorations marking the liberation of the camp, the Act of Foundation was signed by two former prisoners of KL Auschwitz, Władysław Bartoszewski and Simone Veil, on behalf of all former prisoners. During the symbolic launch of the Center, delegations from over 40 countries, including presidents, prime ministers, and members of royal families were in attendance. Two hundred other former prisoners also signed the Act of Foundation, expressing their support for the idea of creating such an educational center in Oświęcim. |
