Empty rooms
Echo anguished cries
Striped of dignity

Silent Tombs
Lost souls
numbered but nameless

Lonely Graves
silenced voices
Pointless destruction

Anguished cries echo
In these empty rooms.

The tragic senselessness of the deaths represented by this movie tear apart my soul.

Before the summer of 1944, Auschwitz was not the most lethal of the six Nazi extermination camps. The Nazis had killed more Jews at Treblinka, where between 750,000 and 900,000 Jews were killed in the 17 months of its operation, and at Belzec, where 600,000 were killed in less than 10 months.
