Hundreds of Thousands Stepped Here Before

From the almost 1 million visitors to Auschwitz in 2006, the largest share came from Europe (817 thousand) and North America (103 thousand). 53 thousand people from Asia visited the site, as did 11 thousand from Australia and 4 thousand from South America—but only 600 from Africa.

In 2007, 1.22 million people from every continent visited the Museum, an all-time record for the institution.
