Stop At: Oswiecim, Poland

Auschwitz Concentration Camp was established by German Nazis on the outskirts of the town Oswiecim in 1940 this camp is considered by many as hell on earth. When the war was over, the camp was turned into a museum. The place, where people were killed was known under several names, such as Block no. 11, the Death Block, or the „Wall of Death”. Nearby the camp visitors can find a gas chamber, where 70000 people were slaughtered between 1940 and 1943. After the liberation of the camp, a movie was made, which is shown in various languages in the museum. As if one German concentration camp wasn’t awful enough, the Nazis decided to establish another one called Auschwitz Birkenau II the following year., where approximately 1.5 million people lived and died between 1942 and 1945.
