  • About Auschwitz
    Holocaust Memorial Day (27 January) is a national event in the United Kingdom dedicated to the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust.

  • Internship at the Oswiecim (Auschwitz) State Higher Vocational School
    Students at the OSHVS can major in English, Russian, Political Science (with specializations in European integration and international political relations), or administration and marketing (with specializations in cultural administration and education or public administration).
    The students learn how the whole institution functions. Each department organizes special meetings for them, where they learn about things like the preservation workshop, Museum publications, the archives, art works made in the camp during the war, and exhibitions at the site. They can also tourthe Memorial, conducted in a language of their choice by a Museum guide.
    Freshmen at the Oswiecim State Higher Vocational School are doing three-week internships at the Museum.
    OSHVS teacher Jacek Urbiński forom Poland said that all the students must do an internship, regardless of what they are studying. "The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum is very popular and most of the students ask to go there. An internship at the Museum is always a valuable and interesting experience, and the cooperation between our institutions has gotten off to a good start."
    Most of the 20 interns are studying English and Russian; several others are studying political science with a specialization in European integration and international political relations or administration and marketing with a specialization in cultural administration and education or public administration. They are working at the Museum in the main office, the publishing department, collections department, library, and visitor services section.
    Barbara Madej, who is studying English, chose the spot for her internship. After graduation, she would like to work at the Museum as a guide. "I am very happy to be able to do my internship here," she said. "I've seen things that you don't see every day, such as art work by the prisoners. I am also developing in terms of language. I did not think I would be given such responsible tasks as translating official correspondence. Of course, Museum employees help me. The atmosphere at work is also good," said Barbara, who comes from nearby Skidzin.
    While they are at the Museum, the students have an opportunity not only to see how well they know foreign languages. They also learn how important the site of the former Auschwitz German concentration camp is, how does theAuschwitz tour looks and how it continues to stir interest around the world.
  • How can you help?
    The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum was financed only by the Polish government budget for a long time.This situation changed to some extent when outside aid appeared in the early 1990s.
    One of the benefactors was Ronald S. Lauder. He visited the Auschwitz site in 1989 and this visit made such an impression on him, that, as soon as he returned to the United States, he decided to set up a separate International Project for the Preservation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum under the aegis of the foundation bearing his name.
