The largest German Nazi Concentration and since 1942 Death Camp build on the occupied Polish territory. Operating since May 1940 to January 1945. Within this time the camp system was developed to over 50 sub-camps abusing the slave workforce of Auschwitz prisoners. Since 1942 Birkenau was chosen to be the mass extermination center of European Jewry. It is estimated that about 1,3 million people, mainly Jews were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Since 1947 territory of former camp was changed into State Museum. The remaining former camp structures spread over vast territory, the general number of victims as well as their very diversified nationality led Auschwitz to be recognized as main symbol of Holocaust in the world. Each year the Museum is visited by approximately 1 million visitors, who chose to learn the history of Holocaust by getting to know history of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In 2005 the International Centre of Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust was created, in order to raise historical awareness about Shoa and promote values of dialogue between nations. The regular guided tour through territories of Auschwitz and Birkenau lasts approximately 3,5 hours.
