This is how these SURVIVORS of Auschwitz, Sobibor and Treblinka SUFFERED

 Auschwitz is the German name for the Polish city Oświęcim. Oświęcim is located in Poland, pproximately 40 miles (about 64 km) west of Kraków. Germany annexed this area of Poland in 1939.



The Auschwitz concentration camp was located on the outskirts of Oświęcim in German-occupied Poland. It was originally established in 1940 and later referred to as "Auschwitz I" or "Main Camp." 


The Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center, also referred to as "Auschwitz II," was located near the Polish village Brzezinka (German: Birkenau). This is about 2 miles (just over 3 km) from the Main Camp. The Germans started construction on Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1941.


Auschwitz III or Monowitz was located near the Polish village of Monowice (German: Monowitz). This is about 4 miles (approximately 6.5 kilometers) from the Main Camp. The Germans initially established the Buna subcamp there in 1942. In 1943, it became a concentration camp.


The Auschwitz camp complex also included numerous subcamps. The majority of these subcamps were located in the region around Auschwitz.
