The Auschwitz Memorial has unveiled a digital replica of the Auschwitz concentration camp, enabling filmmakers to create historically accurate representations of the site where over 1.1 million individuals perished. Utilizing advanced 3D scanning technology, the model captures details down to every brick, with plans for a phase two that includes Birkenau and digitally reconstructing destroyed crematoriums and gas chambers. Director Wojciech Soczewica emphasized the need for credible resources in the industry, while the project reconsiders a long-standing ban on film production at the site, expected to generate funding to support the memorial's mission.

This project breaks a long-held taboo regarding filming features at Auschwitz, where 1.1 million people were murdered, previously allowing only documentaries.
