Auschwitz was at the centre of the Nazi campaign to eradicate Europe's Jewish population, and almost one million of those who died there were Jews.

Overlooking a gas chamber and a crematorium at Auschwitz, a large house inhabited by the Nazi death camp's commandant is to become a centre for the global fight against anti-Semitism and extremism. The plan is for the house to be turned into a research and education centre over the coming months.

The Counter Extremism Project has purchased the Auschwitz commander's villa in Poland to transform it into a centre for research on extremism, education, and combating antisemitism.

The 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation is marked by Holocaust Memorial Day on Monday, January 27 this year.

About 50 survivors are joining King Charles and world leaders for commemorations including a service and speeches.
