Auschwitz Museum pressed to speak out on current conflicts
Briefly

Museum director Piotr Cywiński emphasized that his focus is on the mission of 'remembrance,' which remains apolitical despite political pressures surrounding contemporary issues.
Deputy spokesman Paweł Sawicki highlighted the museum's avoidance of current political commentary, stating the need to educate on Auschwitz's lessons rather than engage in transient political debates.
Cywiński commented on the dangerous rhetoric of populist politicians today, noting the shift in political standards where outrageous statements that would previously end careers now face little consequence.
Sawicki urged visitors to stay vigilant against divisive language and to be proactive against potential genocides, conveying the museum's commitment to moral and ethical vigilance.
