Journalists Get a Glimpse of Auschwitz Pilot Preservation Program

The effort has only just begun

Cnaan Liphshiz was among a group of journalists who recently traveled to Poland to take part in a five-day seminar. He is JTA’s news and features correspondent, based in Europe, and was joined by reporters from The New York Times, AFP and other outlets.

The journalists during their visit were briefed on the beginnings of a program that will seek to gradually restore the barracks of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The effort has begun with the tenting of just two of the camp’s 450 structures and involves cataloging of items, the creation of replicas of objects that are too damaged and the reinforcement of building foundations.
