Auschwitz
Auschwitz, Polish Oświęcim — a town in Poland. In 1939 it became part of the territory annexed to the Third Reich and the Nazis built a complex of concentration and extermination camps there. Hundreds of Roma and Sinti from the Czech lands, most of them men, were deported by the Germans in transports as so-called “asocials” to the Auschwitz I concentration camp in 1940 – 1942. Most of the Roma and Sinti from the Czech lands, however, were transported to Auschwitz with their entire families in 1943 and 1944, when a so-called “Gypsy camp” was built in part of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau extermination camp (see “Gypsy camp in Auschwitz”).
