Istnienie miasta datuje się co najmniej na XII wiek. Po rozbiorach Polski w 1772 r., miasto zostało przyłączone do monarchii austro-węgierskiej i powróciło w granice państwa polskiego dopiero po II wojnie światowej. W tym czasie, Oświęcim stał się centrum przemysłowym i ważnym węzłem komunikacji kolejowej. Populacja ludności żydowskiej w 1921 r. wynosiła 4950 osób. Przed samym wybuchem II wojny światowej w mieście przebywało ok. 8000 Żydów, ponad połowa całej populacji. Oświęcim został natychmiast zajęty przez okupanta. W październiku 1939 r. został przyłączony do III rzeszy.

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.

Located northwest of Drohobycz in the Lwów voivoship in Poland (after the war Drogobych, Ukraine), the Bronica Forest was the site of massacres of the local Jewish population by the Nazis in 1942 -1943. The Jews were taken from the Drohobycz ghetto to the Bronica forest to be killed until the closing of the ghetto in June 1943. Nearly 11,000 Jews were killed on that site, including Al’fred Shraer’s mother and maternal grandfather. He speaks in Ukrainian about the history of the monument standing on the site and explains how the executions took place.

Tento strihový film, ktorý si môžete stiahnuť do svojho počítača, obsahuje úryvky zo svedectiev pamätníkov holokaustu z archívu vizuálnej histórie USC Shoah Foundation.
