Oswiecim Vacation Guide
Oswiecim ia a town located about 50km west from Krakow in southern Poland. The german name is Auschwitz.
Poland was occupied by Germany in World War II, and in 1940 the Germans built the Auschwitz concentration camp by converting Polish military barracks. Later, they also built the vast Auschwitz II (Birkenau) camp in the nearby village of Brzezinka.
Between 1940 and 1945, at least 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed by the Germans in the Auschwitz camps.
Following World War II, the town recovered and new housing estates were constructed in the typical communist style. The buildings are large rectangular concrete constructions, and they satisfy the housing needs for many of the town's inhabitants.
