Auschwitz, which is known for one of the biggest Nazi concentration camps during World War II, is a site of many current controversies concerning construction of trade and entertainment centers near and on the former concentration camp grounds. A few years ago protests stopped the construction of a disco. Today an official opening took place for a car park and tourist service center in Oswiecim/Auschwitz, built by the building company, Maja. Maja already wanted to build a supermarket in the area, but was also stopped by protests. Out of several buildings, one, which hosts a fast food restaurant, is placed in the "protected zone" and had to receive approval from the local authorities. (Photo by Wojtek Laski/Getty Images)
