The inscription on the gate of Auschwitz as the embodiment of duplicity

Arbeit macht frei - this was the cynical inscription on the gate of Auschwitz. This concentration camp was not the first in the world, not even in Germany. However, it was he who happened to become the personification of the Holocaust and the military Crimes. The camp, which clearly demonstrates all the conclusions and decisions of the Nuremberg Trials. The inscription on the gate of Auschwitz said that labor would make a person free, while hiding its real purpose behind high-flown phrases. Work, of course, was. However, it was the work of people whose fate was predetermined by their executioners. Prisoners were used as actual slaves, creating a base for a fascist military machine and German large corporations.

Death camp

However, the main goal of Auschwitz was the concrete liquidation of the peoples disliked by Adolf Hitler. By the way, already in our time the inscription on the gate of Auschwitz - literally the metal letters themselves - has become a welcome prey for the "black" collectors. So, in 2009, the letters were cut and stolen for later sale, but the intruders managed to calculate and catch in time.

Auschwitz is actually a complex of three German concentration camps built near the town of the same name from the beginning of the fortieth year to the fall of the forty-second on the basis of the old army barracks belonging to the Polish army. Since the camp was on the territory of Poland (west of Krakow), at first its victims were Poles and Czechs, who had fallen somewhat earlier in the zone of Hitler's conquests. Really massive destruction began in January 1942, when the Nazi Party of the Soviet Union took a course toward total extermination of the Jews. They became the main victims of the regime.

During the Nazi camp's use of the camp, up to 1.5 million people were killed in it, the majority of which were Jews. Moreover, Auschwitz became the most effective death camp in this business. Thus, the chief commandant of the concentration camp (May 1940 - November 1943) Rudolf Goess was the first in the Nazi system to destroy "inferior nations" invented to use as a poisonous substance the crystals of the pesticide "Cyclone B". He was very proud of his invention. The gas they produced allowed them to kill suicide at very low dosages and very quickly, which affected the capacity of this death machine and, ultimately, increased the number of victims. Another hellish innovation bonze concentration camp was the construction of gas chambers, which took at one time up to two thousand condemned.

Oswiecim's prisoners often did not suspect until the last of what a sad fate they were prepared for. To avoid rebellion and acts of disobedience on the part of people who have nothing to lose, the real intentions about the fate of prisoners until the last were hiding from them. So, the inscription on the gate of Auschwitz, ingratiatingly promised freedom. Even at the moment when the suicide bombers were being led into the gas chamber, it all seemed like a process of disinfection. The liberation of Auschwitz took place at the end of January 1945, when the Red Army beat out the formations of the Nazis from Poland. In the camp for this moment there were only a few thousand tortured prisoners.
