Auschwitz, AKA , is in Poland. Auschwitz was the German name of the town the Poles called Oświęcim.
The camps in Germany proper were not nearly so bad. Bad enough of course, but until they started sending German Jews to the camps outside Germany proper, they had it easy compared to those from other parts of Europe. But in the end, it didn't matter if a Jew was from Germany, Poland, Austria, Russia or Ukraine. They were all headed to the lampshade factory.
I do appreciate the history/geography lesson but I actually knew this. I got stuck on the Germany thing and meant to also include Poland...just a little angry when I typed that.
