It is weird that the article doesn't include the name of the city of Oświęcim, where the movie was filmed. It only lists Auschwitz Museum as a place of filming, which is technically false, because it was filmed outside of the Auschwitz grounds, and the buildings of the camp are seen mostly as a background.
The house where majority of the action takes place was a building adjacent to the camp, renovated and readied for filming.
Corrected. Thanks a lot.
