Auschwitz Alphabet


.
             The letter f stands for filth and cleanness. In this camp it was pointless to wash every day. You would clean in filthy wash bins. But it was the most important symbol of remaining strong, and it was necessary as moral survival.
             The letter g stands for God. Many Jews can no longer subscribe to the related idea of God who is evident in history. The idea of a personal God is fraught with much difficulty (Karen Armstrong). .
             The letter h stands for hope, the hope that kills. Despite the madness of the war, they lived for a world that would be different, perhaps there is a step towards that world! "Do you really think that, without the hope that such a world is possible, that the rights of man will be restored again, we could stand the concentration camp even for one day (Borowski).".
             The letter i stands for injections. The most medical of Auschwitz killing methods was the phenol injection, which was institutionalized during the relatively early phases of Auschwitz. A patient was brought to a treatment room and there was executed a drug by a physician.
             The letter j stands for The Judge. The Judge was Dr. Konrad Morgen, he was sent to Auschwitz to investigate corruption. The problem was not that people where being killed at the camp but that the work of the camp murder was not being brought out according to SS standards (Friedrich).
             The letter k stands for Krematoria. "Great columns of smoke rise from the krematoria and merge up above into a huge black river which very slowly floats across the sky over Birkenau and disappears beyond the forests in the direction of Trzebinia. The Sonowiec-Bedzin transport is being burned right now (Borowski).".
             The letter l stands for language. Many commentators have noted that in order to murder their victims, the Nazis must murder the German language. A new, degraded form of German came into the presence, first in Germany itself, then in camps, where it found its most harsh expression.
