The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum is a memorial and museum in OÅwiÄcim, Poland, which includes the German concentration camps Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It is devoted to the memory of the murders in both camps during World War II. The museum performs several tasks, among them research into the Holocaust.
Their purpose was the administration of the Nazis' Final Solution -- the extermination of the Jewish people. After the defeat of Poland, the Einsatzgruppen rounded up all Polish Jews and put them in ghettos, where living conditions were horrible. In June 1941, the Einsatzgruppen were given the new job of acting as mobile killing units. These SS death squads followed the regular army's advance into the Soviet Union. Their job was to round up Jews, execute them, and bury them in mass graves. Although the Einsatzgruppen were responsible for killing an estimated one million Jews, they were too slow by Nazi standards, which led the Nazis to build death camps
