On Auschwitz

67

The official podcast of the Auschwitz Memorial. The history of Auschwitz is exceptionally complex. It combined two functions: a concentration camp and an extermination center. Nazi Germany persecuted various groups of people there, and the camp complex continually expanded and transformed itself. In the podcast "On Auschwitz," we discuss the details of the history of the camp as well as our contemporary memory of this important and special place.We kindly ask you to support our mission and share our podcast in social media.Online lessons: http://lesson.auschwitz.org

    Work Day
    This particular episode seems to be very inaccurate. For example: they had to hurry up and get dressed and make their beds. This makes it sound like they had changes of clean clothes, pillows and blankets. I don't believe that was the case. Also, to call what they were served "a meal" seems grossly inappropriate. They were basically starving these prisoners.

    Compassionate, Comprehensive
    This podcast is incredibly well done—factual and compassionate. As an English speaker, I enjoy hearing a bit of the Polish and then the English translation. I am grateful to the museum and to the producers of this podcast for making sure this horrific and important piece of history is not lost and is as well understood as possible by as many who want to learn.

    Thank you
    It is important to me to learn from the past so that we do not repeat it. My most sincere thoughts to those lost and those still surviving the atrocities of the Holocaust.

    Informative…. but please check your pronunciation
    It’s “high-drick” NOT “hay-drick”.
