The complex consisted of three concentration camps, and a factory: Auschwitz I - Administration center, Auschwitz II-Birkenau - extermination camp, Auschwitz III - Monowitz - work camp, constructed next to Buna factory - factory of IG Farben. Last two did not survived to our times.

This complex was a place of the largest mass extermination of humanity during WWII. People which lived there were forced to slave work, and treat like animals, most of them did not survived more than 6 months. Over 1.2 millions of people lost their life in those camps, Prisoners of Auschwitz were originated from every country in Europe under German occupation. 90% of population of camps were Jews.

Thanks Patrick the driver , who went out of his way to drive us back to our Airbnb after pick up from nearby hotel . A family of 5 adults, without two ids !!! Large queue at Auschwitz so he dropped us off at Birkenau then returned after 1.5 hours to drop off at Auschwitz . I went for non guided cheaper option as there were 5 of us but maybe a guided tour may have been better option . You can pick up a lot of information from passing guided tours ! However there would have been no tour without Patrick !
