Finances
Fulfilling the Memorial’s mission, preserving its authenticity, and educating people about the history of Auschwitz require financial resources that exceed the Museum’s capacity. Therefore, funds from multiple sources, including in-house revenues, grants from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation hold great significance.
In 2025, additional funds from the ministry's grant, totaling €5.2 million, were allocated to organizing the commemoration event of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and €36,400 to publishing a monograph dedicated to the deportation and extermination of Roma and Sinti in Auschwitz.
Special funds from the ministry totaling €8.3 million were allocated to the New Main Exhibition (€6.1 million) and the New Polish Exhibition (€2.2 million). Funds transferred from the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation, totaling €5.5 million, were allocated primarily to conservation projects on the grounds of the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp (including the conservation of five brick buildings and the ruins of the gas chambers and crematoria), as well as to ongoing conservation of historical objects and documents, such as suitcases, shoes, striped prison uniforms, camp letters, resistance materials, and the digitization of Zentralbauleitung documents.
The Museum has configured a BIM data management system that the team will use to monitor the condition of the brick barracks in the BI sector of the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, carry out emergency conservation and construction work, and operate equipment for ongoing climate monitoring in the buildings.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and Memorial imposes an obligation of remembrance and education on future generations throughout the world.
