The International Center for Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust was created by a decision of the Polish government in June 2005.  The center educates about all facets of the tragedy of the Jewish Holocaust, Polish victims and Nazi terror during the occupation, the destruction of victims in the concentration camp system, the persecution and mass murder of the Roma, and about the systematic exclusion of entire national groups from society.  The International Center is one of the integral parts of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and draws on the Museum's experience.

Dr. Cywiski has held his current post since 2006.
