Auschwitz Birkenau: Train tracks criss-cross their way in through the entrance of the Nazi Regime’s most infamous concentration camp in western Poland.

Standing at the end of the rail line where Jews were once hauled in by the train load, Rabbi Yitz Jacobs reflects on the many horror stories told of the genocide that once was Auschwitz.

Coming to rest just outside Auschwitz, this rail car was used to transport millions of innocent souls to concentration camps where they were starved, tortured and eventually killed.

Housed in a glass case, these 25,000 pairs of shoes represent one day worth of gassings - Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Poland.

Prisoners too weak to be good workers were sent to the gas chamber. To prevent panic, the Nazis told them they would be taking a shower. Instead, disguised shower heads gassed prisoners to death using Zyklon-B, a poisonous gas made from hydrogen cyanide. These empty canisters of Zyklon-B were recovered when the Auschwitz Concentration Camp was liberated in 1945.

Baggage Claim: Deceptively advertising a grand party for which all Jews were invited, many packed their things and were horrified upon their arrival to find that Nazis had tricked them into going to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where many were killed en masse.

Merciless and unforgiving, the Nazi movement murdered hundreds of thousands of physically disabled people, leaving stockpiles of prosthetic limbs and devices.

At 25 square miles, the Auschwitz Concentration Camp system was monstrous. Here at Birkenau, a security road was built right through the middle so Nazi Soldiers could travel from one end of the camp to the other quickly.

Skeleton structures and transparent walls are all that remain here at Auschwitz Birkenau - one of the many death camps used to help carry out Hitler's plans of genocide.

After each gassing, bodies were loaded into these incinerators at Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Overloaded and unable to keep up with demand, the Nazi movement eventually built pits where bodies were dumped en masse.

Very few prisoners were able to escape the high level of security implemented at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland. One of the methods of containment included electrified barbed wire fences as seen here.

Indented concrete steps mark where millions of souls marched to their death - Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland.

Dual electric barbed wire fences helped contain prisoners and give Nazi SS Soldiers an advantageous area to observe, guard and even shoot individuals at their discretion - Auschwitz concentration Camp in Poland.
