Rudolf Höss, Commandant of Auschwitz, testified at Nuremberg as a witness with no attempt to deny his crimes.His highly consequential words changed the course of the trials and exposed how atrocity can be made ordinary. With the From Nuremberg to Now campaign, ARCHER at House 88 stands to tell the truth and prevent the normalization of antisemitism and extremism.

In a video for the Eradicate Hate Global Summit (September 15-17, 2025), Jacek Purski; Director of Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalization (ARCHER) at House 88 and Senior Advisor of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP); walks us through House Number 88, which sits directly outside the wall of the former Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and death camp. It was the home of Rudolph Höss, the former camp’s commandant, who built an idyllic life for his family while organizing mass murder next door.

On April 24, 2025, CEP hosted a webinar on the new report “The Role of Antisemitism in the Mobilization to Violence by Extremist and Terrorist Actors”, commissioned by the German Federal Foreign Office. CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler introduced the new focal project, The Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism, and Radicalization (ARCHER) at House 88—a project of the Counter Extremism Project.
