"Maybe it is though?" Auschwitz was located in Poland. From Wiki:
*Auschwitz concentration camp* was a network of concentration<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_concentration_camps> and extermination camps <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extermination_camp> built and operated by the Third Reich <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Reich> in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_areas_annexed_by_Nazi_Germany> during World War II. It was the largest of the German concentration camps, consisting of Auschwitz I (the *Stammlager* or base camp); Auschwitz IIâBirkenau (the *Vernichtungslager* orextermination camp<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extermination_camp> ); Auschwitz IIIâMonowitz<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monowitz_concentration_camp>, also known as BunaâMonowitz (a labor camp); and 45 satellite camps.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-krakowski-0> Auschwitz had for a long time been a German name for OÅwiÄcim<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%C5%9Bwi%C4%99cim>, the town by and around which the camps were located; the name "Auschwitz" was made the official name again by the Germans after they invaded Poland<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland_(1939)> in September 1939. Birkenau, the German translation of *Brzezinka<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brzezinka> * (= "birch tree"), referred originally to a small Polish village that was destroyed by the Germans to make way for the camp. Auschwitz IIâBirkenau was designated by the *Reichsführer-SS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsf%C3%BChrer-SS> * Heinrich Himmler <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler>, Germany's Minister of the Interior, as the place of the "final solution of the Jewish question in Europe <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Solution>". >From early 1942 until late 1944, transport trains delivered Jews to the camp's gas chambers from all over Nazi-occupied Europe<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupied_Europe> .[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-gutman-1> The camp's first commandant, Rudolf Höss<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_H%C3%B6ss>, testified after the war at the Nuremberg Trials<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Trials> that up to three million people had died there (2.5 million gassed, and 500,000 from disease and starvation),[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-International_Military_Tribunal_1946.2C_Page_251-2> a figure since revised to 1.3 million, around 90 percent of them Jews.[4]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-auschwitz.org1-3> [5]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-piper-4>Others deported to Auschwitz included 150,000 Poles<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poles>, 23,000 Roma <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roma_(Romani_subgroup)> and Sinti<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinti>, 15,000Soviet prisoners of war<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_crimes_against_Soviet_POWs>, some 400 Jehovah's Witnesses<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses> and tens of thousands of people of diverse nationalities.[6]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-dccam-5> [7]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-auschwitz-6> Those not killed in the gas chambers died of starvation, forced labor, infectious disease <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectious_disease>, individual executions, and medical experiments.[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp#cite_note-piper1-7> On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz was liberated by Soviet troops<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Army>, a day commemorated around the world as International Holocaust Remembrance Day <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Holocaust_Remembrance_Day>.
