Auschwitz's concentration camp

Last 27th of January of 2015 was celebrated the 70th anniversary of the of Auschwitz's liberation.

In this commemoration there were many important people like the king of Spain Felipe VI who said that we should learn of the Holocaust and that the barbarism can return.

Felipe VI also suggested to investigate, educate, to prepare and extend the democratic values of respect and of conviviality.Poland has re-opened the investigation on the crimes commited by the Nazi in Auschwitz's concentration camp during the World War II. The Institute of the National Memory tried to locate the persons in charge of the extermination and if they found them, they would judge them for crimes against the country. The Auschwitz's concentration camp had five chambers and ovens crematories, each of them with capacity for 2.500 prisioners.

After coming up to the field by train in a terrible trip of several days in which they didn't eat or drink some water or whatever, the prisoners were selected.

Some of them were going to the gas chambers directly, while other were sent to the work camps or were used for the experiments. The prisioners that weren't considered suitable to work were moved to the gas chambers where the nazis said to them that they were going to have a shower but it wasn't true, they were going to be murdered by Zyklon B. When they all had died there was a checked to check that they didn't have any object of value and then, they were moved to the ovens. In 1942, the first women were also murdered in concentration camps.
