The official podcast of the Auschwitz Memorial. The history of
Auschwitz is exceptionally complex. It combined two functions: a
concentration camp and an extermination center. Nazi Germany
persecuted various groups of people there, and the camp complex
continually expanded and transformed itself. In the podcast "On
Auschwitz," we discuss the details of the history of the camp as
well as our contemporary memory of this important and special
place. We kindly ask you to support our mission and share our
podcast in social media. Online lessons:
