Shaping How We RememberA People's History of the Holocaust
Virtual Tour of Auschwitz
This exhibition was prepared by invitation from Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, co-created with Alan Jacobs. Step inside the camps through 360-degree video, photography and survivor testimony. This virtual tour lets you see the physical grounds where survivors lived, resisted - and remember.
Auschwitz Then and Now Photography
Survivors didn't just remember events; they remembered places.
The Auschwitz Then and Now photography project pairs the raw, evocative paintings created by survivor-artists, with modern photographs taken from the exact spots where those memories were formed.
Jan Komski, a Polish Roman Catholic, survived Auschwitz and documented camp life through his paintings — one of the rare collections of this work online. We have many more stories to share.
Alan Jacobs — Auschwitz Photographer
Alan Jacobs documented Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Mauthausen across eight visits spanning more than two decades. His work on Remember.org includes the Virtual Tour of Auschwitz, the Then and Now photography exhibit, and photographs of the concentration camps that have reached millions of visitors and classrooms worldwide. Holocaust history seen through one photographer's sustained commitment to bearing witness.
Holocaust Memory Project focusing on Life
Remember.org began with a question; what do you think is important to include here? And the stories began to flow - each unique testimony, each scholarly article, each poem by someone learning, adds to understanding.
We are a community of contributors, from Holocaust survivors like Alice Muller sharing her story recently, to children of Holocaust survivors like Martin Kimel co-writing a book with his father Alexander, and Alan Jacobs, whose photos of Auschwitz and many other projects teach people every day at Remember.org.
