Multiple studies conducted over the past few years reveal that much of the young population knows little, if anything, about the #Holocaust .
Knowing this part of history is a must – that's why 'Seeing Auschwitz' is explained so that everyone can understand.
Since the formation of the first band in 1941 - consisting of about 120 musicians - there have been six orchestras in the #Auschwitz complex, made up of male and, since 1943, female prisoners.
The most fortunate saved their lives thanks to their extraordinary musical talent.

Auschwitz, occupied Poland, 1942. Probably the construction of crematorium II.
According to calculations by the German authorities, 1,440 corpses could be burned in this crematorium every 24 h. According to former prisoners, the figure was higher.

We all have a mental image of what #Auschwitz was, but is it really objective, and is it free of 'prejudices' acquired from literature, film, or even... the images of the camp itself?
As of April 14th, the Visual and Performing arts Center in Charlotte will say goodby to the 'Seeing Auschwitz' exhibition.

Today is #InternationalRomaDay . A day to raise awareness of their human rights and also to remember & learn about the fate of ca. 23,000 #Sinti and #Roma who were deported to German Nazi #Auschwitz camp. Around 21,000 were murdered there.
Auschwitz did not begin with the gas chambers. It was the consequence of a society full of hatred that, with small and large gestures, made it possible for one of humanity's greatest genocides to happen in a civilized society.

This photograph was taken after the liberation of Auschwitz, after January 1945. It shows a warehouse that held clothing that German nazis took from victims of the camp.
This was only one of many warehouses at #Auschwitz .

Most of the people arriving in #Auschwitz would meet their deaths in the gas chambers. In winter 1945, the SS tried to erase the “visible” traces of its crimes before fleeing. But not everything disappeared.
