Oświęcim is a Soviet propaganda film centering around the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp, known in Polish as Oświęcim. The footage was shot directly after the liberation between January and May 1945 by camera operators of the Soviet army. The cameramen that filmed were Mikhail Ochourkov, Nikolai Bykov, Kenan Kutub-Zade, Alexander Vorontsov and Anatoly Pavlov and the editing was done by Yelizaveta Svilova. During the liberation of Auschwitz also photographers and artists were present. Some of Zinovii Tolkachev's drawings closely resemble shots from Oświęcim, as they depict the same scenes captured in the film.
