But it is not correct. At that time, after the 1939 invasion, the area was annexed by Germany and was controlled by Germany. Auschwitz was in fact in Germany, when it was a death camp. It has since been returned to Poland.
When Auschwitz was a Nazi death camp during WWII, it was not in Poland. Following Germany's 1939 invasion, the area was annexed and became part of Germany. Thus, the camp operated under German control. After the war, the territory returned to Poland, where Auschwitz is now located.
