The politics of history: After WWII the Auschwitz information presented by the Communist regime seldom mentioned the Jews who were killed here. Later, in post-Communist Poland (i.e. the past 12-13 years), the government has officially started to acknowledge that, in addition to the many Poles, Gypsies, homosexuals and invalids who were imprisoned and executed here, the overwhelming majority of those murdered at Auschwitz and Birkenau were Jews.
