Auschwitz Birkenau the giant concentration of vernietigingskamp of the Derde Rijk. De versterkte muren, prikkeldraad, perrons, galg, gaskamers en crematieovens laten de omstandigheden zien waarin de genocide door de nazi’s plaats vond. Volgens historisch onderzoek werden er in dit kamp 1,5 miljoen mensen, systematisch uitgehongerd, gemarteld en vermoord. Hiervan waren er meer dan een miljoen Joods en tienduizenden Pools. Auschwitz diende ook als een kamp voor de racial moord op duizenden Roma en Sinti. De plaats staat symbool voor de wreedheid die de mens zijn medemens in de 20e eeuw aandeed. Het kamp is een belangrijke plaats ter herinnering aan de Holocaust.
Brief summary
Auschwitz Birkenau was the largest and most infamous of the six concentration and extermination camps established by Nazi Germany to enforce its Final Solution policy of mass murder of other Jews in Europe. Built in Poland by the Nazi German occupation, first as a concentration camp for Poles and later for Soviet war criminals, it temporarily became a criminal for other nationalities. Between the years 1942-1944, it became the main mass extermination camp where Jews were tortured and killed because of their so-called racial origins. In addition to the mass murder of more than a million Jewish men, women and youths and tens of thousands of Polish victims, Auschwitz also served as a camp for the racial murder of thousands of Roma and Sinti and criminals of various European nationalities.
The Nazi policy of plunder, degradation and extermination of Jews rooted in a racist and anti-Semitic ideology propagated throughout the Third Reich.
Auschwitz Birkenau is the largest of the concentration camp complexes created by the German Nazi regime and the one that combined extermination with forced labor. At the center of a vast landscape of exploitation and human suffering, the remains of the two camps Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau were inscribed on the World Heritage List as testimony to this inhumane, ruthless and methodical effort to deny human dignity to teams deemed inferior, leading to their systematic murder. The camps are a living testimony to the murderous nature of the Nazis. Semitic and racist policy that resulted in the annihilation of more than a million people in crematoria, 90% of whom were Jews.
The fortified walls, barbed wire, railway sidings, platforms, barracks, gallows, fuel chambers and crematoria of Auschwitz Birkenau obviously show how the Holocaust happened, as well as the Nazi German policy of mass murder and forced labor. The site’s collections hold evidence of those who were premeditated murdered, as well as the presentation of the systematic mechanism through which this was carried out. The non-public pieces of the collections testify to the life of the victims before their arrival in the death camps, as well as the cynical use of their belongings and remains. The site and its landscape have high degrees of authenticity and integrity as the original evidence has been conscientiously maintained without any unnecessary restoration.
Criterion (vi): Auschwitz Birkenau, a memorial to the planned genocide of Jews through the German Nazi regime and the deaths of countless others, presents irrefutable evidence of one of the greatest crimes ever committed against humanity. It is also a monument to the strength of the human spirit that, under terrible situations of adversity, resisted the efforts of the German Nazi regime to suppress freedom and freedom of ideas and annihilate entire races. It is a key position of remembrance for all humanity for the Holocaust, racist policies and barbarism; It is a position of our collective memory of this dark bankruptcy in human history, of transmission to younger generations and a warning sign of the multiple threats and tragic consequences of excessive ideologies and the denial of human dignity.
Integrity
Within the serial heritage of 191. 97 ha – which consists of 3 components: the former Auschwitz I camp, the former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp and a mass grave for detainees – are the maximum structures similar to the exceptional occasions that were installed there and that testify to their importance for humanity. This is the most representative component of the Auschwitz complex, which included only about 50 camps and subcamps.
The Auschwitz Birkenau camp complex is composed of 155 brick and wooden structures (57 in Auschwitz and 98 in Birkenau) and some three hundred ruins. There are also ruins of fuel chambers and crematoria in Birkenau, which were dynamited in January 1945. The total duration of the fences supported by concrete poles is more than thirteen kilometers. Individual structures of wonderful ancient significance, such as sidings and ramps, food outlets and commercial buildings, are scattered in the immediate vicinity of the property. These structures, as well as the lines in the landscape, remain moving testimonies of this tragic story.
The main camp of Auschwitz I was a place of extermination, carried out primarily through the deprivation of other people of basic living conditions. It is also a means of immediate extermination. Here were the offices of the camp administration, the commander of the local garrison and the commander of Auschwitz I, the headquarters of the headquarters of the political branch and the hard work branch of the prisoners. Here were also the main shops, workshops and Schutzstaffel. (SS) companies. Work in these administrative and economic complexes and enterprises is the main form of forced labour for detainees in this camp.
Birkenau was the largest camp in the Auschwitz complex. It has become primarily a means for the mass murder of Jews brought there for extermination, and of Roma and Sinti prisoners during their final period. Sick and death row prisoners from the entire Auschwitz complex and, to a lesser extent, other camps – were also systematically rounded up and killed here. It eventually became a concentration of prisoners before they were transferred to the interior of the Third Reich to work for German industry. Most of the victims of the Auschwitz complex, probably about 90%, were murdered. in the Birkenau camp.
Assets are long enough for a complete representation of the characteristics and processes that reflect their importance. Potential threats to asset integrity come with the difficulty of preserving the reminiscence of occasions and their importance to humanity. In the physical sphere, significant prospective threats come with the herbal degradation of the fabric of former camps; environmental factors, adding flood threat and emerging groundwater levels; adaptations in the surroundings of the old camps; and a lot of guest traffic.
Authenticity
The Auschwitz camp complex has survived largely unchanged since its liberation in January 1945. The camp’s remaining buildings, structures and infrastructure are a silent witness to history, attesting to the crime of genocide committed by the German Nazis. They are an integral component of a death factory organized with precision and ruthless coherence. The attributes that the Outstanding Universal Value of assets are truthfully, completely and credibly expressed and fully reflect the price of assets.
At Auschwitz I, most of the complex remained intact. The architecture of the camp consisted basically of pre-existing buildings that the Nazis changed to carry out new purposes. The preserved architecture, spaces and design still recall the ancient purposes of the individual. elements in their entirety. The interiors of some buildings have been modified to suit them for commemorative purposes, but the exterior facades of these buildings remain unchanged.
In Bairkenau, which was rebuilt on the site of a displaced village, only a small number of historic buildings have survived. Due to the approach used to construct those buildings, planned as transitional structures and erected with demolition materials, the processes of grass degradation were accelerated. . However, each and every effort is made to maintain them, strengthen their original fabric and protect them from rot.
Many old farm assets and inmates have survived and are recently in storage. Some are on display at the Auschwitz Birkenau National Museum. I will come with private pieces brought by the deportees, as well as original documents and preserved photographs. complemented by testimonies of post-war survivors.
Protection and control requirements
The assets are through Polish law under the provisions of the Laws on Heritage Protection and Spatial Planning, as well as the provisions of local law. The site, buildings and relics of the former Auschwitz Birkenau camp are situated on the premises of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, which operates under a series of laws relating to the operation of museums and the coverage of former death camps. Nazis, who provide that the coverage of those sites is a public goal and its achievement is the duty of the state administration. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum is a state cultural establishment placed under the direct supervision of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, who provides the necessary investment for its operation and the fulfillment of its mission, adding educational activities to perceive the tragedy of the Holocaust and the desire to save you from similar threats now and in the future. The Museum has undertaken a long-term program of conservation measures as a component of its overall conservation plan. It is largely financed through the budget of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation, which is supported by states around the world, as well as by companies and individuals. The Foundation also received a grant from the State to supplement the Perpetual Fund (law of August 18, 2011 relating to a grant to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation intended to supplement the Perpetual Fund).
The current legal formula provides for suitable equipment for the effective coverage and control of assets. The Council of Museums, whose members are appointed through the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, supervises the fulfillment of the Museum’s missions in relation to its collections, in particular the execution of its statutory missions. In addition, the International Auschwitz Council acts as an advisory framework for the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland on the coverage and control of the site of the former Auschwitz Birkenau camp and other extermination sites and concentration camps at present. day territory of Poland.
Several coverage areas surround elements of World Heritage law and serve as de facto buffer zones. They are the subject of local land use plans consulted through the regional inspector of monuments. The control of the configuration of the right is the duty of the premises. government of the city and municipality of Oświęcim. For greater control and coverage of the attributes of the Exceptional Universal Value of the right, adding the coverage of the right of its environment, it is desired to implement an applicable control plan.
