Auschwitz is neither a state nor a country. It is the German name of a town in Poland about 40 miles west of Krakow. The Polish name of the town is Oświęcim. When the town was annexed to Germany (1939-1945) there was a complex of concentration camps and an extermination came some way outside the town. Auschwitz I, II (Birkenau - the extermination camp) and III (Monowitz) were on or near the main site, and there were a further 35 smaller satellite camps further away. Auschwitz was the most notorious of all the Nazi concentration camps and had the highest death toll. Some sections of it have been turned into a museum. The museum estimates that the minimum number of victims killed in the Auschwitz group of camps is 1.1 million, of whom about 90% were Jews.
