Suitcases bearing the names of Jews deported to the camp.
|
This block contains some of the original objects belonging to
the victims of Auschwitz. Discovered after liberation, they include
fringed garments, eyeglasses, suitcases marked with the names
and addresses of the victims, shoes, prostheses, children's clothing,
bowls, and so on. This is what remains of the property of the
Jews who were murdered. The camp authorities did not manage to
send everything into the depths of the Third Reich, or to destroy
it all, before liberation.
