‼️Over 563,000 people visited @AuschwitzMuseum in 2021. It is a slight increase compared to 2020; however, it is important to remember that in the period before the pandemic, over two million people visited the Museum every year. auschwitz.org/en/museum/news… 
The effect of ongoing travel restrictions are refleted in the statistics. Although the number of people visiting the Memorial from abroad increased, they accounted for 51 per cent of all visitors. In the pre-pandemic period, it was usually around 80 per cent.
The vast majority of visitors, 84 per cent, learned about the history of Auschwitz from educator-guides showing them around the Museum exhibitions and site. There are currently 340 guides, giving tours in 21 languages.
Over 1.7 million people use the content published on the official pages of the Memorial in social media. The number of followers of @AuschwitzMuseum exceeded 1.2 million, and our tweets had (‼️) 1 billion 670 million impressions throughout 2021.
Over 16.5 million page views were recorded on auschwitz.org 2021. An essential aspect of education during the pandemic is the online lessons at lesson.auschwitz.org. The main one, dedicated to the general history of Auschwitz, is available in twelve languages.
A new way of disseminating knowledge about the history of Auschwitz online is the series of podcasts "On Auschwitz" available on all major podcast services. auschwitz.org/podcasts
