Oświęcim contains the infamous Auschwitz Concentration Camp, which was built by Nazi Germany during World War 2 and served a dual purpose as a concentration camp and an extermination camp. Auschwitz now serves as a museum and memorial, which seeks to commemorate the lives of all of the individuals who lost their lives at Auschwitz.

It’s estimated that approximately 1.1 million individuals were executed by the Nazis at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp and if you take a tour of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the brutal conditions which Auschwitz’ prisoners were subjected to.

One chilling image, which will make you incredibly grateful for the freedom you have is seeing hundreds of shoes stacked up in a pile. After their owners were executed on mass.
