K.L. Auschwitz

A map of the Plan Vom Interressengbiet - "zone of interest" - for Auschwitz, February 1942.

The massive Auschwitz II (Birkenau) camp appears at center. The smaller cluster of buildings at right is Auschwitz I.

The camp at Monowitz, which would eventually be known as Auschwitz III, does not appear here; it would not be built until November.
