Un piccolo centro polacco diventato sinonimo di morte e orrore, quanto di più vicino ci possa essere all'idea di Inferno. Ma un Inferno assolutamente razionale, con regole gelidamente precise, studiate a tavolino da uomini che facciamo fatica a considerare come noi. La storia di Auschwitz, la sua costruzione, i lavori per ingrandirlo e renderlo una macchina di morte quasi perfetta. La sua fine. E uno sguardo in profondità per capire come funzionava "dentro", per conoscere le regole che disciplinavano la vita di tutti i giorni, per seguire passo passo il (breve, a volte brevissimo) tragitto che ogni dtenuto era costretto seguire: dai vagoni di uno stipatissimo Transport Juden fino ai forni crematori.

David, the speaker, is a Poland Jewish history expert who on the train 'landing pad' just inside the gates of Auschwitz tells of some of the accounts and experiences of the concentration camp, its victims, and of the specific stories of some of the people and families at Auschwitz. David, passionately shares with us some of his knowledge of the Nazi attempt to design, construct, and execute the largest mass annihalation of the universally known 'chosen people', the Jews. An attempt to 'fix the problems of the world by ridding it of the their problem' by exterminating the Jews, irradicating their history, and trying to erase their culture. The Nazi mass extermination attempt failed, as did the lesser known efforts of Dr Mengele aka "The Angel of Death" and all the other Nazi war criminals who were brought to justice by Simon Wiesenthal aka "The Nazi Hunter" and others. This is a roughly shot video on a handheld in the fall season of the year 2007, August. Viewers may need to increase the volume to a desired level in this brief but extremely informative short that reminds us of the grim potential of human beings, warns of the realities of not being pro active in forigen affairs, while at the same time reminds us that we are in fact all brothers and sisters, here to share our planet Earth... for as long as we are able to remain here together.

Clip from BBC documentary Auschwitz : Inside the Nazi State- detailing plans for building of the camps at Auschwitz- which would eventually include Soviet POWS and Poles and Jews. The complex included forced labour camps and privately owned industrial plants and the "Death Camps"- Gas Chambers and crematoria. aprox. one million Jews would be killed at Auschwitz. Even today there are large numbers of young people who know very little about Auschwitz or the details of Hitler's fanatical anti-Semitism which led to the Final Solution so there is a need to insist on passing these historical facts onto each new generation. Otherwise they become the easy prey of the anti-Semites, the Neo-Nazis and the Holocaust Deniers. from gothgod and From my blog Gord's Poetry Factory at http://gordspoetryfactory.blogspot.com/ &my website gordscafe at http://gordscafe.tripod.com/ [ More Detail ]

During World War II, he became the only known person to volunteer to be imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. While there, he organized the resistance movement in the camp, and as early as 1940, informed the Western Allies of Nazi Germany's Auschwitz atrocities. He escaped in 1943 and took part in the Warsaw Uprising (August--October 1944). Pilecki was executed in 1948 by the communists.More:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_PileckiSceny z "Śmierć Rotmistrza Pileckiego" teatr tv. [ More Detail ]

In December 2006, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and former member of the Counter Intelligence Corps (CIC) wrote to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum archives. As one of its many tasks as a military intelligence agency, the CIC conducted investigations of Nazi perpetrators for U.S. prosecutors in the Judge Advocate General's Office after World War II. While stationed in Germany in 1946, this officer found a photograph album in an abandoned apartment in Frankfurt and took it home with him. In 2007, he donated the album to the Museum, but wanted his donation to remain anonymous.The album contained 116 pictures taken between May and December 1944 chronicling the life of SS officers and other officials at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The rare images capture SS guards and Nazi officials relaxing and enjoying time off—hunting, singing, trimming Christmas trees, and more—all while Jews were being murdered at rates as fast as anytime during the Holocaust. The album was created and owned by Karl Hoecker, an adjunct to camp Kommandant Richard Baer.The album complements the only other known collection of photographs taken at Auschwitz, published as the "Auschwitz Album" in 1980. Those images specifically depict the arrival of Hungarian Jews at the camp in late May 1944, and the selection process that the SS imposed on them. Some of the images contained in the new album were taken just days later. In contrast to documenting mass murder, they focus on the daily lives and recreational pursuits of Nazi officials, and no prisoner appears in any of the images.Remarkably, many of the album's pictures were taken when the camp's gas chambers and crematoria were operating at and above capacity as Hungarian Jews were arriving and being murdered.See all of the photos from the Hoeker album and the "Auschwitz album," and learn more about Auschwitz and Karl Hoecker at http://www.ushmm.org/research/collections/highlights/auschwitz/.
