"Auschwitz: A factory of death" a Oswiecim Travel Page by darthmilmo

This page depicts picture, anecdotes and information on one of the most gruesome places I’ve seen in my life: the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp. It lies within an hour of Krakow in the town of Oswiecim, Poland. Auschwitz is the German name for the polish town of Oswiecim. I visited the original camp at Oswiecim and the larger one at Birkenau, which is located nearby. It took me a whole day so come prepare to spend the day to really see this place. By the way, there is no need to take one of the expensive tours. Just buy a brochure as I suggest in my shopping tip.

Please note that I have taken a lose definition of this location in VT so as to include information, pictures, and tips for both KL Auschwitz I and KL Auschwitz II-Birkenau on one place rather then several pages. I hope it is easier to read and understand.
