confined. many jews tried to resist. in the krakow ghetto. this shattered glass serves as a memory of the shattered lives. as the put their final extermination plan into motion. so when the germans decide that they re going to murder every jew in europe, they do it through a system of deporting jews across europe to stationary killing centers located in occupied poland so jews would be deported in a railroad car like this, dozens of people anywhere from 1 to 3 days, no food, no water. no sanitation. many of course died along the way. but if they lived, their destination would be a killing center where most of them were gassed upon arrival. some had heard rumors but again, remember, it was just unbelievable. uh so what they understood what they were told by the germans, whereas that they were being deported to the east for hard labor. people

thousands of coles of roma and soviet prisoners of war also killed at auschwitz. at its height, auschwitz s gassing up to maybe 6000 people a day so sometimes the jews we have pictures of them actually seated in certain parts of the camp where they re waiting now, they think they re waiting to be processed. of course, we know they were waiting to be gassed. there were other horrible things going on at auschwitz as well. yes auschwitz really is a complex of dozens of camps. it s a killing center. it s a concentration camps. there are forced labor. so this is a whole system of ideology where they re going to destroy their racial enemies and work there other enemies to death and i understand you discovered not far from auschwitz, some sort of ss vacation location. yes, they built a retreat about nine miles from auschwitz for the ss to go
