About Auschwitz-Birkenau
Auschwitz-Birkenau is the Holocaust's most visible scar, a concentration and extermination camp where Nazi Germany murdered 1.1 million people, mostly Polish Jews. The site is now a UNESCO memorial and museum, preserved as a warning and a requiem. Barracks, gas chambers, crematoria, and endless rows of barbed wire create an overwhelming landscape of absence and industrial killing. This is a place of deep, necessary pain.
