The museum was established in 1947 by the Polish Government, on the site of the largest Nazi concentration camp, which was originally set up in 1940 for prisoners from Poland. From 1942 it became one of the biggest extermination camps for European Jews. There are many artifacts on display at the museum, such as personal possessions of the prisoners.
