On the 73rd anniversary of establishing of the Museum at the site of the former German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, we are announcing the winners of “If Not for Those Ten…” awards. They go to our volunteers and representatives of institutions supporting voluntary work at the Memorial. Among the winners there are persons from Poland, China, Germany, Pakistan and the USA.

German support for the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation doubled from 60 to 120 million euros. The funds are going to come from the subsidies of federal government and German lands. The agreement relating to this decision was signed in Warsaw by Heiko Maas, German Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński, Foundation President and Director of the Auschwitz Museum.
