Auschwitz I
Auschwitz I - historic place for the worst reasons.
Located in Oświȩcim, it was a concentration camp to achieve extermination of those who were prosecuted by the Nazis, between 1941 and 1945. Every building and structure remained intact and preserved as a memorial of those dark times.
Auschwitz I - the sinister gate.
"Arbeit macht frei" (work liberates) was meant to make believe it was just a labour prisoners' camp. This camp, located in Oświȩcim, is now a memorial to its victims and describes what occurred there between 1941 and 1945. This site was classified as UNESCO heritage in 1979.

Auschwitz I - building and its old photo.
More than 70 years between the displayed photo and the building itself. No great changes took place.
Auschwitz I - Block 4.
It houses an exhibition about what happened in the camp between 1941 and 1945.
Empty cans of Zyklon B.
The Zyklon B that those cans once contained was used to exterminate prisoners in the gas chambers between 1941 and 1945.
One of the watchtowers along the enclosing wall.
Beyond the walls of Auschwitz I there was always a thick wood of high trees to conceal from outside viewers all the horrors that were perpetrated inside.
Shoes of the victims of gas chambers.
All the victims left their clothes and shoes behind, before entering the gas chambers of Auschwitz I. Several rooms display large quantities of shoes, clothes, personal objects, travel bags, children's toys and amputees' prosthesis: all these things were confiscated.
