KL Auschwitz was the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps
and extermination centres.
Over 1.1 million men, women and children lost their lives there.
There is no way to understand post-war Europe
and the world without an in-depth confrontation
between our idea of mankind and the remains of Auschwitz.
The Auschwitz camp existed from the end of May 1940
to the end of January 1945 near the city of Oswiecim.
In 1947, two years after the release of prisoners,
the concentration camp was converted into a museum.
