| Efficiently Engineered Ruthlessness - Auswitch |
| "No one should ever have to be put through such a debased level of existence...the fact that it still occurs on the planet is testament to the absolute shockingness of our species. A species which is the only one ever known to imprison, torture, and then kill its own. |
| Auswitch is in the Polish town of Oswiecim, about 60 km west of Krakow |
| Why It was called the final Solution that Hitler and the Thid Riech put together. It ment the total annihilation of the Jews or Genocide. Auschwitz was planned and used as a Extermination Camp. It was the largest and most modern of the camps, and more people were killed here than at any other camp. |
| What Auswitch was one of the most Ruthlessnes Death that was built during the atempted genocide of the Jews during World War II. Jewish were deported to auswitch by train, standing up, no bathroom for days. The conditions on the trains were awful. People were sick and cold for may days, across countless miles into the depths of doom into Auswitch. Auswitch was literally made for only the extermantation of the Jews. |
| Legacy At the end of 1944, in the face of the approaching Red Army offensive, the Auschwitz administration set about removing the traces of the crimes that they had committed. They destroyed documents, dismantled some buildings, and burned others down or demolished them with explosives. The orders for the final evacuation and liquidation of the camp were issued in mid-January 1945. Prisoners capable of marching were evacuated into the depths of the Third Reich in late January 1945, at the moment when Soviet soldiers were liberating Cracow, some 60 kilometers from the camp. Approximately 56,000 men and women prisoners were led out of Auschwitz from January 17-21 in marching columns escorted by heavily armed SS guards. Many prisoners lost their lives during this tragic evacuation, known as the "Death March." On January 27, 1945, Red Army soldiers liberated the few thousand prisoners whom the Germans had left behind in the camp. |
| My Thoughts This is one of the most evil and degrading craze ever. Hitler took his power was to loosely and built a place just like heck. Over a million Jews were killed in this camp and over a million and in cold blood too. I would love to know why Hitler did such a ruthless and evil thing. What did the Jews ever to him to deserve such a treatment? He tried to genocide the Jews. Genocide which means the total annihilation of a race because a religion. Could you even ponder what it would be like with know Jews in the world. I couldn�t imagine that. Auschwitz was built just for the annihilation of the Jews. Not at first, but at heart it was. To me Auschwitz is the most evil place on earth. |
