The death Squads of Nazi Germany also known as “Einsatzgruppen” were assigned with the mass killings of Jews. Each body lands on a piled up human grave. The priosners of the Auschwitz Concentration camp were traumatized, overworked, suffocated, shaved, starved and sent on a death march. The Camp History tells us the freezing conditions the inmates were subject to. They were stripped of clothing, deprived of food; hundreds were forced to use one latrine, resulting in the outbreak of disease. And how can any of us fathom being forced to walk for hundreds of miles until the point of collapse?

As you walk through, the preserved personal items of inmates are seen to be piling over shoes, prosthetic legs and glasses. It remains an austere reminder of the boundless loss of human life and the conserving of a harrowing past. There is one particular room visitors will come across in the Camp where Photography is strictly prohibited. This room contains real human hair from the shaved heads of prisoners as a mark of stripping their identity. You will surely be bound to tears.

At Auschwitz Concentration Camp, the infamous “Angel of Death” camp physician Joseph Mengele conducted genetic experiments on human subjects. The young and unfortified twin children were deemed to be his focus of fascination. Today, visitors to Auschwitz are able to witness the evocative evidence of Mengele’s vicious actions through conserved remains. Visitors will also witness the remains of the killing machines used to murder Jews and other persecuted groups. Remember to pay attention to the hatches on the roof of the gas chambers where Nazi’s dropped canisters of Zyklon B. The gas chambers travelers will witness will depict to be a somber experience and a horrifying symbol of the Holocaust.
