Jan 27, 2015 – Auschwitz, ,, Poland – As victims return to Auschwitz 70 years on, a deeply moving plea from one survivor… HOW I SEE IT
THEY are the dwindling few who know, truly, what it is to go to hell and back. Seventy years on, they were there again yesterday.
On this very spot, they had seen their loved ones for the last time.
Next to this bleakest of buildings, millions of families had been torn apart forever in a hysterical bedlam of beating, whipping, attack dogs and random execution. Has anywhere else endured such misery? When the original Auschwitz concentration camp could not cope with the slaughter expected of it, the Nazis created an even larger, industrial death plant and railway yard next door here at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Its pointed, red-brick watch tower, beneath which every cattle wagon hauled its tragic cargo to the end of the line and the ‘selection’ ramps, is now a global symbol of genocide.
