Auschwitz, Extermination camp in Poland

Auschwitz was the largest of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps.

Established by the Nazis in 1940, in occupied Polish territory.

A poignant reminder of the Holocaust's atrocities.

Now a museum and memorial, UNESCO World Heritage Site.

A primary symbol of the human capacity for violence towards others.
