Ukraine: our solidarity is needed more than ever
A peaceful country that poses no threat must not be suppressed and destroyed by sheer force. The people of Ukraine want to live in peace and freedom.
ASF statement on the 2nd anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Gerhard Richter BIRKENAU
In 1944, prisoners secretly photographed the killings in Auschwitz. Gerhard Richter used these photographs in his “Birkenau” series. The pictures will be on permanent display in an exhibition pavilion on the grounds of the International Youth Meeting Centre in Oświęcim.
“This commitment is nothing less than a commitment to democracy and peace. In these crises, there are few things more important: caring for others with others, meeting others and thus meeting other perspectives and concerns, and together shaping better places in concrete projects, for memory, for the future.”
Writer and member of the ASF Board
