"As part of the anniversary events, the house where the Nazi commandant of Auschwitz lived with his family — which was the subject of the Oscar-winning movie “The Zone of Interest” — opened to visitors for the first time on Monday following its sale by Polish owners to the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based group."

“... It has since been acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a non-government organisation that combats extremist groups by pressuring financial support networks, countering the narrative of extremists and their online recruitment, and advocating for stronger laws, policies and regulations around the world. Counter Extremism Project CEO Mark Wallace said the opening of the home to the public is his dream, and those of our colleagues, is that every visitor, every fellow, and every academic that visits the Auschwitz site will be inspired to take action to fight extremism wherever they come from.”

"“My dream, and those of our colleagues, is that every visitor, every fellow, every academic that comes here takes action to fight extremism and antisemitism wherever they come from,” said Mark Wallace, the CEO of the Counter Extremism Project."

“… Last summer, Jurczak sold his home to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), an NGO that has been fighting extremism since its creation in 2014, and has now decided to open the doors of this three-story house to the public. On January 27, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz , visitors will be able to visit the house that Commander Höss once lived in. The aim of this opening is to "create a global centre to fight extremism in the home of one of the worst extremists and anti-Semites who ever existed," explains Hans Jakob Schindler, director of the NGO. He points out that "while it is essential to never forget , that is not enough to prevent the hatred and anti-Semitism that are taking over our society today."”

"A three-story house overlooking an Auschwitz gas chamber, formerly owned by the camp's commander, Rudolf Hoss, has been purchased by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) with the aim of opening it up to visitors, the New York Times revealed on Wednesday."

“Rudolf Höss's house in Auschwitz, or rather, in Oswiecim, has become famous throughout the world thanks to Jonathan Glazer's film  The Zone of Interest , winner of two Oscars. The camp commander lived right next to the camp: from the upstairs window the view opened onto the ovens, as Glazer shows, but on the ground floor there was a flowery and well-kept garden, a path leading to a river for the summer, and an ice rink for the winter. The house, in recent years, was inhabited by Grazyna Jurczak, a 62-year-old widow, who raised two children there. After several years, the woman decided to sell the house to a New York-based organization called Counter Extremism Project. Among the reasons for the sale, Jurczak said, was the excessive attention of visitors to Auschwitz to the house following the success of Glazer's film.”

"Zvi Kogan had been missing in the United Arab Emirates for days , and now Israel has announced the violent death of the 28-year-old rabbi. Kogan, who holds both Israeli and Moldovan citizenship , was murdered, the offices of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a joint statement on Sunday. It was a case of "anti-Semitic terrorism."… "At the moment, the information regarding the circumstances of the death is still relatively vague," terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler told the Tagesspiegel. "The investigations are now in full swing." We have to wait for the results… The extremism researcher, who is senior director of the international Counter Extremism Project, explains: "Iran has announced that it will respond to the last Israeli military attack on the country in October. This response can look many different. International attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets are always possible as well.””
