perfection!

[arvi, 05/01/2011] Este é um dos locais mais impressionantes que se podem visitar. Ali tudo é verdadeiro e testemunho de uma história muito recente e triste. Câmaras de gás, camaratas, linha de comboio até à câmara de gás, está tudo lá e qualquer um pode ver. A dimensão é assustadora, mesmo que hoje em dia alguns dos pavilhões já estejam meio destruídos.

A Short History The camp was formed by the Nazis in April 1940, in the suburbs of the Polish city of Oswiecim. Initially, the inmates were Polish political prisoners, but before long, Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsies, and prisoners of other nationalities were also imprisoned. Gradually, the camp was enlarged and the expa [more]
