Exterminate the Jews
Auschwitz and Birkenau – the two names, which represent the darkest stain on the history of Europe. It was here that the Nazis attempted to exterminate the Jews. The Camp was mostly destroyed during the war by the withdrawing SS forces; however the Polish government rebuilt parts of it to create a museum, a tribute to the murdered people. According to various sources Auschwitz – Birkenau is the final resting place of up to 5 million people, though nowadays it’s believed that 1.3 million people died there.
