Daniel Libeskind will remake former Auschwitz commandant's house into learning center

A new UNESCO-backed project geared toward human rights and ending antisemitism has named Daniel Libeskind as the architect who will transform the former private home of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss into a learning center. 

The project is called Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism, and Radicalization (or ARCHER) at House 88. As the name suggests, it will remake the home (which was depicted in Jonathan Glazer's 2023 film The Zone of Interest) into a space that honors the memory of the camp's victims while serving "unique opportunity to remember the victims of extremism while, at the same time, taking action to prevent the radicalization of future generations."
