Auschwitz

The name Auschwitz rings terror to the ears of so many. Its name was also associated with being called “The Gates of Hell”. It was the largest out of all the death camps, and killed the most Jews than any other concentration camp. Auschwitz is actually situated in Poland, and it was located in the small town of Oswiecim. When Germany occupied Poland in 1939, Oswiecim was incorporated into Germany, and therefore renamed Auschwitz. The SS argued that jails and prison could not meet its needs because of increasing Polish resistance, so they decided to turn it into a concentration camp, but the real reason they established it was because of the mass arrests on the Poles. Auschwitz was therefore established in the 1940’s before the”Final Solution of the Jewish Question”, which was later brought out to kill all Jews.

Never has there been such mass murder in the world as compared to World War II and the genocide of so many innocent people. If people would try to escape the camp, and they would be caught, the Germans would do horrendous things to them. Auschwitz was easier to escape than other concentration camps in Germany because it was not surrounded by Germans. Therefore, there were a lot of prisoner’s and the G


The manslaughter that went on in all of Auschwitz’s camps will live in people’s minds forever. There were five Crematoriums and Gas Chambers. The first Crematorium (Crematorium I) was operated from August 15, 1940 to July 1943. German authorities estimated that 340 people could be burned every 24 hours after the installation of three furnaces. The SS officers also used Zyklon B to kill many in the largest room of the building. When the completion of four other crematoria and gas chambers was done in Auschwitz II, the Germans used the first crematorium for storage. The second Gas Chamber and Crematorium was the same but could burn 1,440 people in a 24 hour period of time. It was operated from March 1943 to November 1944. The third chamber was not as big as the fourth where around 768 people could be burned in 24 hours, but former prisoners think the figure was much higher. The final Crematorium also killed the same amount as the fourth, but operated from April 1943 to January 1945. All of the former Crematoriums and Gas Chambers were blown up after to destroy evidence, but there are still many remains.

Many claim it to be a miracle if a person would get out of Auschwitz alive, and to escape alive an even bigger feat.
