Birkenau camp, also known as "Auschwitz II"
This was the largest part of the Auschwitz complex. The Nazis began building
it in 1941 on the site of the village of Brzezinka, three kilometers from
Oswiecim. The Polish civilian population was evicted and their houses
confiscated and demolished. The greater part of the apparatus of mass
extermination was built in Birkenau and the majority of the victims were
murdered here.
