Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau

The Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau, located in Poland, preserves the former Nazi concentration and extermination camp where over a million people, mostly Jews, were murdered during the Holocaust. Established in 1947, it serves as a memorial and educational center. The site includes original barracks, gas chambers, and exhibits that document the atrocities of the Holocaust. The museum aims to honor the victims, educate visitors about the dangers of hatred and intolerance, and ensure that such horrors are never repeated. It plays a crucial role in remembering history and promoting human rights awareness.
