Two Concentration Camps of Auschwitz

First, I introduce about the first concentration camp of Auschwitz. May 20th in 1940, SS took over building of Poland army. From 13,000 to 16,000 people were accommodated there. “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” is put up on entrance. Spelling “B” looks like upside down. This means modest resist of people. There is an experiment institution in building No.10, and building No.11, there is a wall of death.

Next, second concentration camp of Auschwitz. October in 1941, second concentration opened in Brzezinka village. This building was called “death asylum”, in 1944, 90,000 people locked up there. They were mostly Jews. In 1943, another asylum was built. It is especially plain and women were accommodated here.
