Hundreds of families from villages around the World War II Nazi death camp complex in Auschwitz and Birkenau are still waiting for compensation of property confiscated for the building of the camps. Around 5000 families from 8 villages were relocated to make space for the building of Auschwitz and Birkenau camps.

"The conditions of these resettlements were very tough. Some of the young people were sent as slaves- it has to be said in that way- to obligatory works in Germany, and some people were resettled on the territory of General Governance, and also to other territories." explained spokesperson for the Auschwitz Museum Jaroslaw Mensfelt.
