In 1947 the Polish government decided to preserve parts of Auschwitz I and II (Birkenau) and turn them into a museum. In view of the lack of money in the postwar period very little was done till the 1960s. Since then, the area has been designated as World Heritage Site. The museum is outside Oswiemcim, about 37 miles west of Krakow. Franciszek Piper (born in 1941) is the director of research at the Museum and has written several articles and a book on the history of the camp and on the Holocaust more generally.
