Auschwitz

The most notorious Nazi concentration camp is Auschwitz. This was actually a complex of many different camps. The most people were killed at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Here over 1 million people were murdered.

cell blocks and barbed wire at the camp

a reconstructed crematorium 


a room full of all of the prosthetic limbs and crutches that were taken away from people

a room full of all of the shoes of those killed

the sign at the entrance in German says "Arbeit Macht Frei." The English translation is "Work Makes You Free"

a cattle car that people were jammed into on their way to the camp


these are where people were forced to sleep. multiple people had to share each bed
