Arbeit macht frei

was the largest of the Nazi 's camps and the biggest killing center ever created. In Auschwitz, 1.1 million people were murdered. It became a symbol of death during the Holocaust and the destruction of European Jewish population. (Rosenberg, J. n.d.) Auschwitz included three main camps, all of which forced prisoners into labor. One of the camps also worked for an extended period of time as a killing center. (http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005189) The first part of Auschwitz was built on the outskirts of Poland and was started in May, 1940 and finished in June, 1940. (http://www.wollheim-memorial.de/en/ig_auschwitz_en) Auschwitz 1 was also called Stammlager. Over the main gate stood a sign that said "Arbeit Macht Frei" or “Work Makes One Free.” (http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/blauschwitz.htm) Auschwitz 2, also known as Auschwitz Birkenau was opened in March, 1941. (http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/blauschwitz.htm) Birkenau served as a labor camp and as the center for the fast killing of Jews. Birkenau had several extermination facilities and crematoriums. There were 4 gas chambers in the camp that used Zyklon B gas. The camp functioned as a factory for mass murder, receiving victims from all over Europe. Most of the people brought to the camp were immediately sent to gas chambers.

Vladek begins to introduces his passed by leading Art to his old room. He goes on the stationary bike with a hand holding the handlebars and another holding the seat, and he says, “It's good for my heart, the pedaling"(M I 12). The panel he says the line, Spiegeiman added Vladek’s figure shadow lines, but everything in the room remain only the outline without shadows. In Vladek’s face I see vicissitudes, gloomy and miserable because he has to recall the memory before the War. Vladek had…

We hopped off the train only to jump onto the hard, cold, fear filled dirt. I looked ahead seeing only small building and a barb wired fence. Curiously, I asked my mom where we were. She responded with a falling tear and two words, “Concentration Camp”. I was curious towards these two words not understanding what they meant. I saw the waiters cowering inside the train as if they were playing hide and seek. It reminded me of childhood games of hide and seek in the house. The tour guide gathered…

concentration camps, the Nazi’s would often have night runs( an exercise in which the Jew would have to run from concentration camps to concentration camps). The consequence of slowing down, of course, would be death. Jews out of all things became the slaves of hard work and labor. The Jew often had to work in factories, they did not really having any experience with the jobs so they would often have to work hard and long hours. This was mostly the jobs main job while on the concentration…

everyone was in a deep slumber, as what eventually happened to me. I dreamt I was back at my real home, in school. I despised school with an intense passion, yet at that moment, I’d have rather been anywhere else. Everyone said I was gifted in academics, but I was really only interested in art. I would color pictures of the sky in a deep chocolate color and in white, my favorite color. Everyone always insisted it was not a color, but I refused to believe them. I awoke from my nostalgic dream to…

The commanding officer announced. “The Soviets are coming!?” “Freedom, finally!” “Overthrow those Nazi bastards!” The crowd suddenly erupted. “Beruhigen die Hölle hinab! Alles von Dir!” (Calm down!

As the innocent people entered the death camp of Auschwitz, not knowing that almost all of them will never step foot outside of the camp again, they read Arbeit Macht Frei write on the gates as they are taken into captivity, and even killed. Arbeit Macht Frei means “work will set you free”. As the innocent people arrived at the death camp, they were put into lines two lines. Women and children in one line, and men and boys in another line. After this, they were “stamped”, or tattooed with a…

crematorium and a gas chamber to make killing more easy. They had many gas chambers, but they soon put up a bigger permanent one that is still there. Auschwitz was a killing ground and had the most prisoners to execute. (Holocaust Memorial Museum 1-2). Auschwitz was used for many reasons. They killed million using crematoriums, gas chambers, or just put them up against a wall and shot them. They also did terrible experiments including pseudo scientific experiments on twins, dwarves, and infants.…
