- Auschwitz was (and still is) a town in Poland - Polish name: Oswiemcim.
- The area was in a part of Poland that had been part of Austria-Hungary till 1918, and outside the town was a old Austro-Hungarian cavalry barracks (in a pseudo-Alpine style), which was later used for a time by the Polish army. The disused buildings were taken over by the SS in 1940 and formed the core of Auschwitz I (concentration camp), initially intended for Poles.
