Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum is located in Auschwitz, Poland. There are three concentration camps that existed during the Second World War. By decree of Hitler, these concentration camps were annexed to the territory of the Third Reich. Auschwitz was one of the largest Nazi death camps, killing more than a million people, the vast majority of whom were Jewish.

On June 14, 1947, the concentration camp, which became one of the symbols of the Holocaust, was turned into a museum. The opening ceremony was attended by tens of thousands of relatives of the victims, former prisoners, delegations of Polish and Jewish communities and simply people who are not indifferent to the sad fate of the innocent. Today, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is open to visitors all year round, here everyone can feel the terrible time of the war.
