May 3, 1943 | 22 male prisoners and 243 female prisoners are kept at the experimental station of Dr. Carl Clauberg in Block 10 of the main camp in #Auschwitz for experimental purposes .

In the picture, collections from Auschwitz Memorial in Auschwitz Exhibition

An execution wall between Block 10 (left) and Block 11 (right) which was built from special cement & sawdust insulation plaques to catch bullets, was dismantled. The sand from beneath the wall was removed, as it was soaked with blood to a depth of two yards.

Kapos, and especially German Kapos, were given great license in the way they treated prisoners they supervised at work - they could beat them, choke them, or even kill them.

May 2, 1945 | The Soviet Union announces the fall of #Berlin and the Allies inform about the surrender of German troops in #Italy and parts of #Austria .

The possessions you see here were discovered in 'Kanada' barracks after the liberation. When you look closer, they seem very simple, basic even. But by the time people arrived at #Auschwitz this is what they had been reduced to.

They’re the last fragments of whole existences.

If you are coming to Auschwitz Exhibition at the The Castle at Park Plaza remember: booking your tickets beforehand is needed and it is advised to come during weekdays.

During Nazism, the motives for persecuting and sending the population to 're-education' camps were very diverse.

Among them was listening to 'degenerate music' such as jazz and swing, due to its African American roots.

The most fortunate saved their lives thanks to their extraordinary musical talent.
