Auschwitz I & Auschwit II (Birkenau)

AUSCHWITZ:  Between June 1941 and January 1945 about one million men, women and children perished in the three Auschwitz concentration camps–i.e. Auschwitz proper, Birkenau and Monowitz–and their more than forty sub-camps. At its peak the whole complex was a deadly prison to some 150,000 inmates that were being either murdered outright or starved and worked to death.

BIRKENAU:  Three kilometers west of the Auschwitz I concentration camp is another much larger sub-camp, officially known as Auschwitz II, but usually called Birkenau.  Birkenau was the place where more Jews perished in the Holocaust than at any other camp. Birkenau was by far the largest of all the Nazi concentration camps.  At its height, towards the end of the war, Birkenau could accommodate 250,000 prisoners.

NUREMBERG: Because of its relevance to the Holy Roman Empire , the Nazis chose the city as the site of their large NSDAP party conventions. A number of premises were specially constructed for these assemblies, as well as other buildings, some of which were not finished. To this date, many examples of Nazi architecture can be seen in the city.  After the end of World War II, the city became famous for the trials of Nazi officials for war crimes , crimes against humanity and aggression - the Nuremberg Trials .
