== Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 22 December 2024 ==
== Misleading introductory sentence on the invasion of Poland ==

I know this is an article on the Auschwitz concentration camp which was created and run by Nazi Germany, but "After Germany sparked World War II by invading Poland in September 1939" is misleading in ignoring the fact that the Soviet Union joined Germany in invading Poland (and starting World War II). The Misplaced Pages article on that subject at https://en.wikipedia.org/Invasion_of_Poland clearly describes the joint invasion in the first sentence, and the Auschwitz article would be improved by using the same language. I suggest, "After Germany and the Soviet Union sparked World War II by invading Poland in September 1939..."

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)
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? cyberdog958 04:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
