Auschwitz







For this one I’ll let the pictures do the talking. 
Locations from which the Jews were transported

Stats
A Day's Rations 1500 Calories for 11 hrs hard labor

 WAYS TO DIE

Cremation Chamber
Suicide Zone - a 15' wide area before the 2
electric fences where you were not allowed to be.
People who couldn't take it any more would just
walk into these zones to die. Soldiers would
immediately kill them by gun shot.

Execution Wall, this became too expensive
to use bullets


Cyclone 2 the gas used to suffocate prisoners
Here is enough to kill 340


Dr Mengele Experiments 


Gypsy Twins genetic sampling


Our guide explaining how this woman was 75 kg on entering and in 3 mths was down at 25 kgs, and this is how she looked 4 mths after liberation of the camp.
Rudolph Hess hung here April 16 1947 about
100 meters from the house he lived in with his wife
and 4 children at the camp


The House within earshot of the barracks and camp
still privately owned
80000 shoes harvested

4000 prs of glasses

Even prosthesis


From our visit with Sandie’s grandparents who endured the German war, then the Soviet Occupation, let’s just say, no one deserves to be treated this way
