a bus on most Piastowski, Oswiecim, Poland, 1985


Over the river Sola. This is another still from Shoah.  Auschwitz was the name the Germans gave to the Polish town of Oswiecim, but from 1945 has solely been a reference to the nearby concentration camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz-Birkenau (Brzezinka) and Ausschwitz-Monowitz.

The approximately 600-metre railway connection the Germans built into the Birkenau camp from the line a little south of Oswiecim station is still easily traceable, even though a little of it has been paved over where it crosses a couple of streets and someone's driveway.
