AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU FORMER GERMAN NAZI CONCENTRATION AND EXTERMINATION CAMP
The Museum plans to place the names of thousands of prisoners on its website in 2002. A data base covering people who were registered in the camp has been compiled on the basis of extant documentation. However, it will contain very scarce information on people who were murdered immediately after arrival, mainly in the gas chambers.
