Description:

L'esistenza della città risale al XII secolo. Dopo la spartizione della Polonia nel 1772, la città fu annessa all'impero asburgico austriaco, tornando al governo polacco solo dopo la prima guerra mondiale. Durante quel periodo, Oświęcim divenne un centro industriale e un importante nodo ferroviario. Popolazione ebraica nel 1921: 4.950. Alla vigilia della seconda guerra mondiale c'erano circa 8.000 ebrei in città, oltre metà della popolazione. Oświęcim fu occupata subito dopo l'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale. Nell'ottobre 1939 fu annessa Grande Germania.

Существование города восходит по крайней мере к 12-ому веку. После раздела Польши в 1772 году, город был присоединен к Австрийской империи Габсбургов, вернувшись к польской власти только после окончания Первой мировой войны. В течение этого времени, Освенцим стал промышленным центром и важным железнодорожным узлом. Еврейское население в 1921 году составляло 4950 человек. Накануне Второй мировой войны насчитывалось около 8000 евреев в городе, более половины всего населения. Освенцим был оккупирован сразу в начале Второй мировой войны. К октябрю 1939 года, он был присоединён к территории Третьего Рейха.
