WARSAW, Poland (JTA) – The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has launched online educational programs about the history of the camp.

The new lessons are now available in Arabic, Persian, Spanish and Portuguese. Previously the programs were available only in English and Polish.

“When it comes to the number of visitors, the entire area of the Arab states and Iran almost do not exist in our statistics. At the same time, we realize that it is often there where the history of the Holocaust is shown in a very distorted way, or even it is doubted and used politically,” said the museum’s director, Andrzej Kacorzyk.

Auschwitz is a pioneer in e-learning courses among such institutions in Europe. The program focuses on the history of the camp and the mass extermination of Jews in Auschwitz, and includes video footage of interviews with survivors, graphics and photos of the camp.
