Located in Oświęcim in Poland, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum was founded by the act of the Sejm on July 2, 1947. Covering a huge 470 acres, the site has been designated as a World Cultural Heritage and millions of people have visited the museum. Dedicated to those who perished during the genocide and Holocaust in World War II, visit both the Auschwitz and Birkenau camps to comprehend the extent and horror of the tragedies that had taken place.

See the 13 out of the 30 remaining prison blocks which function as exhibition halls and do not miss the ill-reputed gate at the entrance of the barbed-wire encampment which says ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (Work Brings Freedom). This is actually a replica as the original was stolen in 2009, recovered and restored in 17 months which can be seen in the museum. The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum plays a key role in history, influencing our world today, making it a must-visit museum for all.
