Since 1942 Birkenau was chosen to be the mass extermination center of European Jewry. It is estimated that about 1,3 million people, mainly Jews were murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Since 1947 territory of former camp was changed into State Museum. The remaining former camp structures spread over vast territory, the general number of victims as well as their very diversified nationality led Auschwitz to be recognized as main symbol of Holocaust in the world. Each year the Museum is visited by approximately 1 million visitors, who chose to learn the history of Holocaust by getting to know history of Auschwitz-Birkenau. In 2005 the International Centre of Education about Auschwitz and the Holocaust was created, in order to raise historical awareness about Shoa and promote values of dialogue between nations.
