"Since Auschwitz was liberated in January 1945, the house at 88 Legionow Street had been in the private hands of a Polish family. But last year it was acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based NGO that has sought to combat extremism since 2014."

"Since Auschwitz was liberated in January 1945, the house at number 88 Legionow Street had been in the private hands of a Polish family. But last year it was acquired by the Counter Extremism Project, a New York based NGO that has, sought to combat extremism since 2014."

“The house at 88 Legionow Street is imposing and ugly on the outside, but functional and spacious within. With temperatures below freezing and snow thick on the ground, visitors really notice the blast of warm air coming from the radiators when they walk through the door. It is what Nazi mass murderer Rudolf Höss would have felt after a day of 'work' just a few hundred feet away at the most notorious factory of death in history… The property is set to be turned into a weapon for good after being bought by the US-based Counter Extremism Project, who will transform it into a key pillar of their bid to combat radicalisation and violence.”

“The American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project purchased the house of the commandant of the German Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, Rudolf Höss, in the summer and will open it to visitors on January 27, the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, the New York Times reported. Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum Director Piotr Cywiński did not rule out cooperation with the new institution. The film "Zone of Interest," which tells the story of the Höss family, has led to strangers entering the property in Oświęcim, interested in the history of the house. This has prompted its resident, Grażyna Jurczak, to sell it. The sale of the house and the adjacent post-war building was finalized in October. The Counter Extremism Project and Ms. Jurczak have not disclosed the amount of the transaction, but - as the "NYT" wrote on Wednesday - it is about more than $120,000.”

“The villa of the former commandant of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, Rudolf Höss, has been purchased by the American non-governmental organization Counter Extremism Project and will be open to visitors in a few days. The amount for which the building was purchased from private owners is not known. In an interview with the New York Times, a lawyer for the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) only stated that it was "significantly greater" than the market value of the house, which was estimated at about $120,000, or about PLN 500,000. The building has been undergoing renovation in recent weeks, as the new owners wanted to restore the interiors as much as possible to the condition they had during World War II , when the Höss family lived there from 1941 to 1944. In addition, the interiors were furnished with period items, including German newspapers and a coffee mug with the SS emblem.”

"Last summer, Ms. Jurczak agreed to sell her stake in the home to the Counter Extremism Project, a New York-based group that wants to open the house to visitors. She moved out in August, and in October the New York group completed its acquisition of the home and an adjacent house built after the war...

Mark Wallace, a lawyer and former U.S. diplomat who is the chief executive of the Counter Extremism Project, also declined to give the price, saying only that once other family members were paid for their stakes in the property, the total price was “significantly more” than what Ms. Jurczak had indicated. He also said his organization “wanted to do right” by Ms. Jurczak’s family but “did not want to pay a big premium for a former Nazi property, even if we could.""

"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."

“Quiet, safe and surrounded by greenery. And a view of a gas chamber. The house where Rudolf Höss, commandant of the Auschwitz death camp, lived with his family will soon be open to visitors. The building, located just outside the camp, was made famous by the Oscar-winning film The Zone of Interest, directed by Jonathan Glazer. Until now it has been a private home. For the past 42 years, Grazyna Jurczak, now 62, has lived there with her husband, before he died, and their two children: 'It was a great place to raise the children', thanks to its proximity to nature and the river, and the absence of chaos. But after the release of Glazer's film, the decision to sell the house was reinforced by the streams of people who walked around the building, looking at it and remembering its connection to the tragedies of the Holocaust.”

“... The home in Oswiecim, Poland, was purchased in October by the NY-based Counter Extremism Project, which plans to open it to the public for the first time. Counter Extremism Project CEO Mark Wallace says the house and an adjacent property will ultimately become the newly formed Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism, and Radicalization, which will focus on combating modern-day extremism. "This house has been closed for 80 years. It was out of reach to the victims and their families. Finally, we can open it to honor survivors and show that this place of incredible evil is now open to all," Wallace said.”

“A house once owned by Rudolf Höss, the notorious commandant of the Nazi German Auschwitz concentration camp, has been purchased by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a US-based non-governmental organisation, and will soon open to visitors. Located at 88 Legionów Street in the southern Polish city of Oświęcim, the house sits near the former camp’s perimeter fence. The property became the focus of public attention after last year’s release of The Zone of Interest, a British-Polish-American film that depicted the domestic life of Höss and his family living in the shadow of Auschwitz from 1941 to 1944.”
