@auschwitzmuseum It would be good to start by educating the world that the actual camp was in Birkenau but the administration was in Auschwitz. Hence the name Auschwitz-Birkenau.

@britishtechguru This is a bit more complex. The entire complex is Auschwitz. This is why we may talk about Auschwitz II-Birkenau or Auschwitz III-Monowitz. Yet, we need to remember that in fact we speak about one concentration camp.

@auschwitzmuseum I was not aware of Monowitz. I studied history in university and specifically Weimar Germany and the 3rd Reich. We even covered nonsense such as the Leuchter Report. While I have not visited Auschwitz-Birkenau I have visited Salaspils though,

@Nfgmart @auschwitzmuseum One of my friends from university had a father who was in a prison camp in Czechoslovakia. He escaped with the aid of a partisan who he later returned and found after the war, marrying her and she was my friend's mother. Both now, sadly, deceased.
