'''Oświęcim''' (German: ''Auschwitz'') is a historic town on the Soła and Vistula rivers in southern [[Poland]], seat of Oświęcim County in the [[Lesser Poland]] Voivodeship. With a municipal population of approximately 38,000 (GUS estimate 2025), it forms the spiritual heart of the [[Diocese of Bielsko-Żywiec]]. Eternally linked to the adjacent Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum—site of the Nazi death camps where over 1.1 million souls perished—Oświęcim today witnesses to resurrection through faith: six vibrant parishes, a Salesian youth apostolate, and an annual influx of 1.5 million pilgrims who pray that the Cross of Christ may transfigure every human tragedy.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://diecezja.bielsko.pl |title=Diecezja Bielsko-Żywiec – Dekanat Oświęcim |access-date=2025-11-03}}</ref> | '''Oświęcim''' (German: ''Auschwitz'') is a historic town on the Soła and Vistula rivers in southern [[Poland]], seat of Oświęcim County in the [[Lesser Poland]] Voivodeship.
