Auschwitz & Birkenau

ANATOMY OF GENOCIDE

"Auschwitz" is the German name the Nazis gave to the little town of Oswiecim, Poland.
At the beginning World War II Auschwitz and the nearby Birkenau became the location of largest concentration and extermination camps the world has ever known.
A systematic murdering of thousands of people of specific races (not just Jews) and other nations' members happened there,
with atrocities the world has never seen. The word Genocide was introduced there for the first time in the human history .
2,900,000 (two million, nine hundred thousand) Jews were murdered by the Germans in Poland alone.
No words can really convey the concept of a human tragedy of such large scale in an effort to describe the German atrocities during World War II.
Birkenau Concentration camp is shown in the second part of this gallery.

Excellent presentation of what those barbaric bastards did in WWII.
Thank you for presenting.

Powerful gallery, frightening, disturbing and inconceivable - which is why it is so important to be reminded of these inconceivable atrocities.

There are no words!
Your photos are excellent documenting the horrors of what happened. They are tragic. They are disturbing. My heart aches when seeing this. How can human beings be so cruel and so evil? Why? May we never forget!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. This all occurred only a few years before I was born. It is truly overwhelming! And to this day, we still are dealing with hate! And again I ask why? Are we not better than this? Tears come to my eyes as I see the photos, read your captions and reflect on the horror of it all. V
