Auschwitz-Birkenau: Switzerland is committed to the preservation of the site

Bern, 03.05.2013 - Switzerland is contributing to the preservation of the former extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau with a donation of one million euros to the foundation responsible for the maintenance of the site. This donation is a response to a call for funds totalling EUR 120 million addressed to several dozen States. With this gesture, Switzerland is demonstrating its international solidarity and respect for the victims of Nazism, and contributing to the necessary work of remembrance.

Auschwitz-Birkenau, the only Nazi concentration camp designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, faces major preservation problems. Hundreds of buildings and ruins are in danger of collapse, and personal items that belonged to victims risk irreversible deterioration. An international financial effort is the only means to solve these problems.

The only reason why it should be preserved is because of the historical significance and for forensic inquiries (something that wasn't done back in 1945). The sites should be handed over to the care of UNESCO and no longer be paid for by Germany, Poland or other countries.
