Auschwitz camp in desperate need of conservation
Submitted by admin on
The new director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp claimed recently that the site was in urgent need of conservation.
The camp buildings are under threat from flooding and erosion, and many of the artefacts on the site are being damaged by mould, insect activity or poor environmental conditions. There is also some loss or damage from the camp's 1 million annual visitors.
