Oswiecim,a town in the Lesser Poland,a province of southern Poland,situated about 30 miles west of Kraków.The town is commonly known as being the location of the Auschwitz concentration camp (less commonly known as KL or KZ Auschwitz Birkenau) during World War II when Poland was under the control of Nazi Germany.The State Museum is actually in the village of Brzezinka.
In 1940, Nazi Germany used forced labour to build a new subdivision to house Auschwitz guards and staff.In 1941,German authorities decided to build a large chemical plant of IG Farben,in the eastern outskirts of the town.Polish residents of several districts were forced to abandon their houses,as the Germans wanted to keep the area around Auschwitz concentration camp empty.Thus a buffer zone with the area of some 15 sq miles was planned around the camp and expulsions of local Polish residents took place in two stages, in 1940 and 1941.All the residents of the Zasole district were forced to abandon their homes.In some districts,more than 90% of all buildings were destroyed and the residents of Plawy were transported to Gorlice to fend for themselves.Altogether, some 17,000 people in Oswiecim itself and surrounding villages were forced to leave their homes,and eight villages were wiped off the map.As a result,by April 1941 the population of Oswiecim shrank to 7,600.The town and the camp were seized by the Red Army on 27 January 1945.The Soviets immediately opened two temporary camps for German POWs in the complex of Auschwitz-Birkenau.The Auschwitz Soviet camp existed until autumn 1945, and the Birkenau camp lasted until spring 1946.Some 15,000 Germans were interned there.[Wikipedia.]
