The
concentration camp in Auschwitz was established by Nazis on the
outskirts of the town Oswiecim in 1940. After the war, the camp was
turned into museum displaying evidence of the genocide. Block no. 11,
known as the Death Block, was where people were murdered also at the
“Wall of Death”. Outside the camp, there is a gas chamber, where 70,000
people were killed in !940-1943. A film made after the liberation of
the camp is shown in various language version in the museum. In 1941, 3
kilometres from Oswiecim, in the former village of Brzezinka, the Nazis
established a new camp called Auschwitz II Birkenau. In 1942-1945,
approx. 1.5 million people lived and died here. Most of them (90%) were
Jews, others were Poles, Gypsies, Russians and prisoners from 28
countries of Europe, people of all nationalities and political and
