Auschwitz-Birkenau was inscribed onto the World Heritage Site list in 1979. It is inscribed under criteria vi, which states that the site is directly associated with events, living traditions, ideas or beliefs that have outstanding universal value. Most sites use this criteria in a positive way, but this is not one of them. This site stands as irrefutable evidence to one of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated against humanity. It is a symbol of the countless deaths caused by the evil Nazi regime. It is also a monument to the survivors who overcame incredible struggles and found the composure to survive the inhumane activities of the Nazi regime.
