Before Auschwitz became the ultimate symbol of the Holocaust, it was just an ordinary Polish town known as Oświęcim. The majority of its citizens were Jewish. 'Oshpitzin' application lets you walk in the footsteps of the non-existent today synagogues, factories and the common heritage of Polish-Jewish. Produced by the Auschwitz Jewish Center audio-guide is based on the pre-war town. By using augmented reality technology on the phone screen, you can see 3D models of selected buildings, which have not survived to this day. This app is a tribute to almost 500 years of Jewish history in Oświęcim which was overshadowed by the tragedy of Auschwitz and the Holocaust.
