Auschwitz-Birkenau Mark Wheatcroft's Visit Discussed
In this episode of the FOR THE PASSION OF HISTORY podcast, host Daz is joined by Mark Wheatcroft from Mark's English History Channel to discuss his recent trip to Poland and his visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Auschwitz-Birkenau was a complex of over 40 concentration and extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland (in a portion annexed into Germany in 1939) during World War II and the Holocaust. It consisted of Auschwitz I, the main camp (Stammlager) in Oświęcim; Auschwitz II-Birkenau, a concentration and extermination camp with gas chambers; Auschwitz III-Monowitz, a labour camp for the chemical conglomerate IG Farben; and dozens of subcamps. The camps became a major site of the Nazis' Final Solution to the Jewish question.
