Auschwitz Concentration Camp
Auschwitz was the largest death camp ever to be built.
The construction of Auschwitz started in 1940. After about five years Auschwitz and its prisoners had been liberated, which occurred on the 27 of January 1945. This camp could house over 30,000 Jews at one time and could have held 2,000 people in each gas chamber, and 500 inmates housed in each barrack. In that time of five years, over one million people died in Auschwitz. Even today, many people are still finding out about Auschwitz and its terrors.
Auschwitz had the largest mass murder in history. Many prisoners were shot, gassed, starved, frozen, and were used to perform experiments. Nine out of ten prisoners were Jewish, the others where either homosexual, gypsies, prisoners of war (POW) and other people that just tried to help Jewish people out of the country. All of the babies that where born in Auschwitz were either shot immediately, or had experimental tests on them by Dr.Mengele. Only a few survived his testing. He also performed tests on twins to try to separate them.
Approximately 4,000 Jewish children were sent to Auschwitz, none survived. And from May 14 to July 8, 487,403 prisoners where sent in 148 railway cars. This was the largest transportation in Auschwitz. Every prisoner in Auschwitz had seen the sign “arbiet macht frei” this meant “work makes you free”, although the guards called it extermination through work. The sign was the only entrance in Auschwitz, the exit was the crematorium.
When prisoners arrived all the prisoners had to be sorted, many of the prisoners had to go to the left, which meant they would live a while and have to work, and the
Others that went to the right went straight to a gas chamber. The right was for the sick, or people that couldn’t work.
The prisoners of Auschwitz had to wake up at four in the morning, were handed a piece of bread with a little margarine, then they where forced go to work for the whole day. At the end of the day they where given soup that consisted of rotten vegetables and a little meat, for a drink they would either get tea, or a bitter drink that resembled coffee. Sometimes they wouldn’t even get any food. Then they would go home to their barrack to sleep with over 500 people in their wooden bunk bed.
Work at Auschwitz was usually in a factory but sometimes prisoners had to work outside the camp. Many of the workers were taken by trucks into nearby towns to dig tunnels, mine coal, shovel snow and cleared rubble out of roads. But a large percentage had to work at the factory making items for the war that had been going on. They mainly had to make pots and pans, and items for the war.

Hi I believe the number of deaths recorded and perceived in Auschwitz has long ago dropped from several millions to 175,000. Hoescht Bayer BASF and Agfa, Jewish companies inter-related through marriages and were a part of the foundation of IG farben (chemicals) and were connected to companies owned by the “de Rothschild” (an apopted name for a very clever Jewish chap born in a Ghetto) now a massive Banking consortium whose conspirators have long been perceived as the initiators of deeds leading to WW11.
Most of the Jewish directors were gone by late 1938 but little information is around concerning who created zyklon “b” IG Farben paid for created and owned Auschwitz as a human test bed, much as Israel did /does in the hopsital in Soweto and in Israel itself, performing chemical and biological experiments on dissident jews and captured Palestinians according to whistleblower Ari-ben-Menashe.
Did the Aryan management change direction of Farben or simply assume control.? Unfortuately this era has so much to hide on all sides it is a real problem being definitive.One thing which is certain is that zionists, the then founders of modern Israel, were deeply and extensively collaborating with the nazis and engaged in preventing large numbber of ‘old order’ jews from escaping to anywhere but Palestine, preferring them to be interned.This isolationist culture described by a senior zionist as treason against his fellows if a jew calls himself a German.This tragic culture has been a major obstacle to world peace.
Some few years ago jewish visitors refused to commemorate Auschwitz at the place itself as they found Nuns, who had been in contemplation there for many years were present in the camp. Jews were only a part of the forced labour which went through Auschwitz but desire that it be a major part of the misleading story that the holocaust was all/predominently about exterminating jews.It was not.
