The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in Poland
By Seif Kamel
Many tourists around the world explore ancient sites, contemporary
buildings and various museums. However, a visit to the Auschwitz-
Birkenau Museum in Oświęcim in Poland is a totally different story.
In fact, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and memorial was where the
Nazis carried out their concentration camps. In 1947, the government
decided to establish a museum and a memorial in the exact location and
with the same buildings. Today, it is one of the highlights tourists who
spend their vacations in Poland would visit.
The visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum would usually include
viewing exhibitions telling the story of this historical place. They would
watch the place where the Nazi concentration camp factually took place.
This is in addition to many exhibits of the victims of such brutal acts.
