About AUSCHWITZ JEWISH CENTER FOUNDATION INC

The Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation (AJCF) is a New York–based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports and operates the Auschwitz Jewish Center campus in Oświęcim (Auschwitz), Poland, preserving pre‑war Jewish life there and delivering immersive Holocaust education programs. AJCF runs sustained international programming — including the long‑running American Service Academies Program (ASAP), school and teacher training, survivor testimony initiatives, and visitor education — and partners with municipal and philanthropic institutions to translate remembrance into contemporary anti‑hate action. Recent activity includes multi‑year cohorts of ASAP cadets, a high‑profile 25th anniversary gala (June 2025) marking program milestones, and ongoing advocacy and program work in Poland through 2024–2026.
