"On Auschwitz" (29): British prisoners of war near the Auschwitz camp

One of the groups of witnesses to the crimes perpetrated at the
concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz were British
prisoners of war who were forced to work on the construction of
the IG Farbenindustrie factory. The building site was located in
the immediate vicinity of the Auschwitz III-Monowitz camp and a
few kilometers from the Auschwitz I main camp. British prisoners
of war were also employed at the mines in Libiąż and Jaworzno,
where Auschwitz sub-camps were later established. Dr Piotr
Setkiewicz, head of the Auschwitz Museum Research Centre, talks
about the history of British POWs near the Auschwitz camp.
