Camp of Despair
Auschwitz Concentration Camp was based out of an old polish barrack in Nazi occupied Poland thirty one miles West of Krak'w, and was established on April 30, 1840 by Rudolf Hoss. Once you were brought here there was no hope of escaping an untimely and horrific death whether it be from a disease, starvation, or a trip to the gas chambers almost no one survived. People of all ages and of all races were sent here to be slaughtered. Jews, Gypsies, the mentally and physically impaired, African Americans, Homosexuals, Political critics and so many more. Over one million and possibly more were slaughtered without a second glance or a hint of remorse. Once stripped of all that meant anything to them including clothes and shoes that fit, hair and even artificial limbs. What was all this to be used for? The Nazi's even enjoyed watching the Jews suffer and die in the gas chambers. this is just a glimpse of the horrors that went on at Auschwitz.
