The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Museum was established in 1947 by the Polish government on the site of the largest Nazi concentration camp. The Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was set up in 1940 for prisoners from Poland, but from 1941 on the Nazis imprisoned there people from all the countries occupied by the Third Reich. From 1942 it also became one of the biggest extermination camps for the European Jews.
There is the exhibition entitled "Man Did This To Man" in the huts once used to house inmates. In recognition of its historical significance as a memorial to all who suffered and died there, in 1979 the site of the former concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau was entered on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. After this tour we specially recommend to spend an evening in Kazimierz district and to taste some Jewish cuisine accompanied by Jewish music concert.
