Soła

The Soła (Polish: [ˈsɔwa]) is a river in southern Poland, a right tributary of the Vistula.

The Soła originates in the Western Beskids mountain range near the border with Slovakia.

After 89 km (55 mi), the Soła empties into the Vistula River after passing through the town of Oświęcim.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum informs that the human ashes and ground bones of those murdered there were often dumped into the river.
