Maybe where it says in the infobox location "German Occupied Poland" we could change it to "German Occupied Poland (1940-1945)

Brzezinka, Poland (1945-)" To show where the camp is now located Aromawyd (talk) 17:18, 22 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
It states in the top of the article that the concentration was primarily in the town of Oświęcim (Auschwitz). Do you have a source that states it was located in Brzezinka instead? cyberdog958Talk 04:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
