internet, and wireless) at the entire area of the Auschwitz Memorial.
“I am proud that Orange Polska is a partner of this important project. Thanks to the activity of the Museum and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation we can face and learn from this very painful chapter of history. We will work together to provide the best technology to this valuable initiative”, said Julien Ducarroz, Orange Polska CEO. “The pandemic that inspired this initiative also revealed inequality in the access to digital tools. We realize that as network number 1 in Poland, we can achieve a lot so we do our best to prevent exclusion. For me, this project represents exactly these values, respect, and inclusivity”, Julien Ducarroz emphasized.
The educational mission of the Museum is implemented by the International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust. The main area of activity of the Center are educational programs, based on the history and experience of Auschwitz, that are to raise awareness and shape attitudes of responsibility in the contemporary world. Most visitors get to know the history of Auschwitz thanks to guides-educators of the Museum who speak over 20 languages. Such a big choice of languages is a unique thing on a global scale. Visiting with an educator offers the chance to get to know the authentic post-camp space and the fate of its victims to the fullest possible extent.
Preservation of the authenticity of the Memorial and Museum has been supported by the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation since 2009. Its job is to create and manage the Perpetual Fund whose proceeds help finance the conservation of all Auschwitz remains for future generations.
