The Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum comprises two parts: the “mother camp” (Ger. Auschwitz I – Stammlager) and Auschwitz II – Birkenau. The two camps are around 4 km distant from each other; a free shuttle bus service runs between the two sites...

Auschwitz I – Stammlager was a concentration camp originally established in 1940 as a camp for Polish prisoners of war. It was here that the first gas chamber was created, along with a crematorium; the punishment cells and the wall of death were also here. Today Auschwitz I – Stammlager is home to the permanent exhibition documenting the history of the camp and the background to its creation...

he camp Auschwitz II – Birkenau was established around 4 kilometres away from Auschwitz I Stammlager, on the site of an evacuated village, Brzezinka (Ger. Birkenau), which gave its name to the camp. Birkenau occupied an area of 140 hectares, and as such was around 50 times larger than Auschwitz I – Stammlager.
