Auschwitz-Birkenau Death and Concentration Camp
Please use some good judgment while looking at the following pictures. I'm putting these pictures up as a way of memorializing those who were victims of Nazi fascism. I will explain the pictures and give the explanation that was given to us by a licensed guide of the camp. But, I think that the only way you can get a good understanding of what happened at Auschwitz is to visit it.
