But she said Auschwitz, not Oswiecim. jks

I don't know Polish, which looks to me like some kind of demented Russian in Latin characters typed by a monkey, but as far as I know "Auschwitz" is the Germanized spelling of "Oswiecim," i.e., it's how "Oswiecim" sounds to a German ear.

Nu, zayats, pogodi!
