Have you ever heard about this place??? Auschwitz was the largest of the Nazi concentration and death camps! It's located in the Southern Poland.
It's the place with the darkest history that I have ever been. Let's us get to know some facts about the place.
1. In 4 1/2 years, more than 1 million people, by some accounts, lost their lives at Auschwitz.
2. About 1 in 6 Jews killed in the Holocaust died at Auschwitz.
3. Auschwitz was first constructed to hold Polish political prisoners, who began to arrive in May 1940.
4. The Nazis settled on gassing their victims. Stationary gas chambers could kill 2,000 people at once. Once in the chambers, about one-third of the victims died immediately, though death could take up to 20 minutes.
5. About 60 million Reichmarks, equivalent to £125m today, was generated for the Nazi state by slave labour at Auschwitz during the Holocaust.
interesting fact...how merciless humans were and still are actually.
