The train station in front of Auschwitz where over a million prisoners arrived to await their fate.
One of the several crematoriums in Auschwitz. These crematoriums had the ability to burn around 1,000 bodies a day.
Prisoners who were fit to work were forced to do extraneous work daily. If the prisoners worked too slow, they were killed. Some were even forced to dig their own grave, and were then shot, falling into the hole they dug.
These children were used in medical experiments by German doctors. These experiments included harsh abusements, injections, and operations that left survivors either mutilated or mentally ill.
After spending ten days being transported from their ghetto, this Jewish family was sent to the gas chambers upon arrival at Auschwitz.
Upon arrival, all prisoners were forced to give up all of their belongings. These belongings were found shortly after the camp was liberated.
This picture was drawn by Alfred Kantor, a teenager who survived Auschwitz. He entered the camp in 1944, and drawn what was around him to keep himself sane. He destroyed most of his paintings there to avoid punishment, but recreated them after the camp was liberated.
This drawing was done by a 16 year old boy named Yehuda Bacon who had witnessed his father being gassed and burned in a crematorium. He drew it with charcoal, and even put the exact time his father died in the right bottom corner.
This drawing, named "Burying the Remains of Children" was done by David Olere, a survivor of Auschwitz. It was inspired by his first job assigned upon arriving there; he became a grave digger.
This song, "Auschwitz- Birkenau", is from the soundtrack of the movie Schindler's List. This movie is about a man who owns many factories that Jews were forced to work in, and eventually, after a change in heart, he helps save many of their lives.
