Auschwitz

Auschwitz is the name of the greatly feared German prison camp that was located in the city of Oswiecim in Poland. This site is now known for the mass murder of about 6 million European Jews. Thousands other than the European Jews were killed there. It was the home to the brutal German doctor Dr. Josef Mengele. When the camp first began many Poles were sent there to either work to death, be an experiment for Dr. Josef Mengele, or just rot away. Later in the war the Nazi's started sending Russians and other people that just apposed them in the slightest way. Towards the end of the war the Nazi's had to cover up for all the murders commited there, so they evacuated all the men who could walk and forced them into the last defences of Germany. But it was not all hidden. General George Patton and his 3rd Army liberated those who were left over and those who already were dead. The brutality of the Nazi's was now unleashed into the news and magazines and was hated even more. Such measures of mass killing was never reached before and hopefully never again.
