International Monument for the Victims of Fascism, Memorial monument at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, Poland
The International Monument for the Victims of Fascism stands at the western end of the railway tracks within the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp complex.
Following an international competition with 465 design proposals from 36 countries, the monument was completed and dedicated on April 16, 1967 at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The monument functions as a central point for remembrance ceremonies, educational programs, and international events that focus on preserving the memory of Holocaust victims.
The memorial site welcomes visitors throughout the year as part of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, with multilingual information panels explaining its significance.
Local residents of Brzezinka participated in the monument's inauguration by planting trees behind the structure, creating a living component to the memorial.
