Auschwitz: Place of Horrors

STORY PREFACE

Story Summary

The four largest gas chambers
could each hold
2,000 people
at one time.

The United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum

 

The sign at the camp's entrance said Arbeit Macht Frei - "work makes one free."

That was a lie.

The sign above the gate was located at a concentration camp called Auschwitz, found near a Polish town called Oswiecim. The camp, and what happened there, is infamous to this day.
