Description: Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Nazis. A complex of camps, Auschwitz included a concentration, extermination, and forced-labor camp. It was located 37 miles west of Krakow (Cracow), near the prewar German-Polish border. It is estimated that at minimum 1.3 million people were deported to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945; of these, at least 1.1 million were murdered. In this film from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, historians and survivors discuss the significance of Auschwitz.

LAGERASTEN ::: Favorites  2007-10-13 22:14:37 This video moves me beyond what words could adequately express. The quiet despair in the eyes of the Jewish man who awaited his death like millions of others, fills me with anguish. We must never forget. __________________________________________________

portbaires ::: Favorites  2007-11-26 15:54:31 I the USA, UK and the Vatican knew the exact location of these camps, why they did not bomb them preventing the coming slaughter.Was not better to kill 50.000 Jews than 5 million people.Was not this the concept for the Hiroshima bomb?????????? So Jews please tell the truth. Also pls talk about the epidemies and typhus. __________________________________________________

Is a good business to kill efficently a bunch of Jews. Still M. Benz, Lufthansa, Farber, Lego, Tyhssen, etc are equivalent of good and realiable. Germany did a very good job. __________________________________________________

I dont know what is that suffering, but me and nobody needs to know. __________________________________________________
