Auschwitz - Discarded Clothes of Murdered People

After killing people in the gas chamber, and burning their bodies in one of five crematoria at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Nazis (or their Sonderkommando helpers)  tossed no-longer-needed clothing into heaps at the camp.  Stacks like this were found in various places by Auschwitz liberators.
