Talk:Auschwitz

Auschwitz = Oświęcim

There was no need to flag them all. Auschwitz is the German name of the place but Oświęcim is also used like many other Polish city names. --Anatoli 06:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

French and English borrowed many Polish city names from German. --Anatoli 07:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Auschwitz

"(by extension) The Holocaust during the Second World War." Equinox ◑ 01:24, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Confirming collocations are found in "Google Books": "perpetrated Auschwitz" (5 cases), "carried out auschwitz"(1 case)

I wonder if it is not already covered in the first definition, a symbol of Nazi evil. --Dmol 02:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Me too. Regarding “perpetrated Auschwitz,” at least one of the quotations is a literal reference to that camp. Just from looking at those results I get the impression that perpetrated Auschwitz is a chliché taken up by a few writers. I'd like to see the term itself attested in some different constructions, but I don't doubt that that is possible. —Michael Z. 2010-03-21 23:20 z
