    Located between the Auschwitz I main camp and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, the Judenramp served as the initial point of arrival from 1942 until May 1944.

    Legionów 88

    The building that served as the residence of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp commandant Rudolf Höss and his family from 1940 - 1944. Höss was one of the main architects of the Holocaust. He introduced the system of mass murder using gas, initially with shower rooms filled with Zyklon B, and later systematically developing the camp's facilities, such as gas chambers and crematoria. His actions at Auschwitz led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. After the war, Höss was captured by the Allies and tried for his war crimes. In 1947, following a trial in Poland, he was sentenced to death and executed by hanging in Auschwitz, near the camp he had so brutally overseen.

    Auschwitz II-Birkenau was the second, much larger camp that was part of the Auschwitz complex. It was established in 1941, about 3 kilometers west of the main Auschwitz I camp, and became one of the most well-known sites associated with the Holocaust. Birkenau was primarily a death camp, where the mass extermination of Jews, Roma, political prisoners, and other groups persecuted by the Nazi regime took place.The Birkenau camp complex consisted of numerous barracks, as well as powerful gas chambers and crematoria, where the Nazis carried out mass murders of prisoners who were transported to the camp from all over Europe. It is estimated that about 1 million people died in Birkenau, mainly Jews, but also Roma, Poles, prisoners of war, and other victims of the Nazi regime.
