Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau II
21 review
July 16
I am Russian, I arrived there at the end of June. I can say right away that there are more pluses than minuses. Free shower, spa treatments. There is a place in the cemetery in advance. The stove works well, meals 1 time a week (bugs, spiders).
I don't see any disadvantages.

Many years ago I was at the Auschwitz Museum.
This photo is located at the very beginning.
It depicts 3,500 Hungarian Jews. They arrived at the Konzentrationslager Auschwitz-Birkenau (KZ Auschwitz). Upon arrival of the train, the first thing people are divided into two columns, which are clearly visible in the photo.
Men separately, women separately with children.
A little later, the women's column will be divided into two more...
women separately, children separately.
In order for them not to resist, they are very amiably told about the need for sanitation from lice and offered to wash with hot water after the road.
Then they will all be brought to two huge rooms, in which these people will undress a little later, and then they will be asked to leave their belongings, for which they will be able to return in 15 minutes.
Then they are led into the next room, and the door closes behind them.
For those who are in the photo – forever.
Women were always allowed in first, then the cyclone gas was turned on for 15 minutes (which was produced by Bayer), and that was it.
Then the children, and only then the men.
Well, then they ventilate the room, then a special team comes, which takes the bodies to the next room along the way, where there are stoves.
And they burn them all there.
After a few hours, there is silence.
Very organized, efficient. Very German
SS men go to have fun – drink their schnapps and dance
I do not know about you, but it is creepy for me to look at the merry staff who killed several million innocent people, most of them children, very young children, teenagers (girls and boys), women and the elderly. There were also men..
The photo is dated May 29, 1943 and has been on the Internet for a long time, but few people know the names of these / // captured in the picture.
At that time (May 1943), about a million people were brutally tortured in Auschwitz – four hundred thousand of them were children from one to 16 years old (oh, my God – this is the same number of people who now live in Simferopol!)
In the photo, Jewish women and children on the territory of the Auschwitz concentration camp
Presumably the photo was taken between crematoriums No. 3 and No. 4
They are all waiting in line to be sent to the gas chambers
There were days when the load of the gas chambers was especially high, the wait was up to ten hours
The Nazis did not leave children alive until the age of 14, in their opinion, children could not work well and ate a lot, which undermined the economy of great Germany and the Third Reich ...
An excerpt from the novel Swans Fly
Inhuman, barbaric experiments on humans, such as experiments on twin children in concentration camps, were started in order to discover similarities and differences in the genetics of twins.
The main figure in these experiments was Josef Mengele, who performed experiments on more than 1,500 pairs of twins, of which only about 200 remained alive.
Mengele conducted his experiments on twins in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The twins were classified according to their age and gender and housed in special barracks. The experiments involved injecting various chemicals into the twins' eyes to see if it was possible to change the color of their eyes. Attempts have also been made to "stitch" twins to artificially create Siamese twins. Experiments with attempts to change the color of the eyes often ended in severe pain, infection of the eyes and temporary or permanent blindness. Mengele also used the method of infecting one of the twins with infections, followed by autopsy of both subjects, in order to study and compare the affected organs.
Emaciated children are prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp, on whom German doctors conducted experiments. The twins were kept in the so-called "gypsy camp", whose doctor in 1943-1944 was Josef Mengele.

In principle, the camp is cool.. In the beginning it may be a little scary, but then get used to it, I had it like that) then I don't want to leave) But it's not worth the money.
I was there for the 2nd shift in 2024, at the end of the shift, rotovirus appeared, the isolation ward was overcrowded and because of this, all activities in the camp for the day were canceled, that is, we just sat either in the building or in the gazebo (playing)
The dining room is completely unsanitary, the glasses are covered in plaque, the plates are dirty. I even got a hair in my food once.. They feed it like 50/50, something delicious, something right up to vomiting.
Rooms. The rooms are generally different. I lived on the 5th floor, in my room there was a TV, a refrigerator, and a refrigerator. It was all because we lived in a room for vacationers. The distribution system was strange. There were 4 girls in the room. The bathroom has a shower, toilet, sink. In the hallway, on the right, there is a huge closet, the whole wall. Then there are 4 beds and 4 bedside tables next to each other. There are 2 shelves in the bedside tables. Also, somewhere there are masking nets, somewhere there are not. So be careful at night, if there is no grid, get ready that when you come to the building, and your window was open, there will be a whole swarm of midges that bite :) so take protection, spray, fumigator and plates to it.
Territory. She is quite big, there are peacocks, they are very beautiful)). There are also 2 buildings, a dining room, a bandstand, a cinema, football, basketball, and volleyball courts. The sea is within walking distance. There are sun loungers on the sea, each squad has its own.
There are many events, the most memorable was the Lightning Strike.. In short, there will be no time to be bored.
Well, it's up to you to decide

I was there in 2020. It's impressive... It's very hard, I probably won't come back. The horrific scale of human destruction. These mountains of shoes, shaving brushes, glasses and women's hair. It's terrible really. But I think this place should definitely be visited, it's a terrible and cruel story, but it took place. We must remember and make every effort so that this would not happen again. I do not raise my hand to put 5 stars, but as a museum this place deserves high praise. In 2020, there were Russian-language excursions

I arrived there in November of the 41st with my whole family.The free bus was driven right to the house, helped with things, previously burned passports.The trip was good, there was even a bloody river.We were settled in room 32.It was cramped, but as they say: "in the dark, but no offense".Sometimes there was a construction site that even bombs fell and eardrums burst, but it's not scary.The staff is excellent, although sometimes the hotel director came and asked about my house and some red ones, but I replied that there were no Indians.They were fed dietetically, twice a year (this is standard food, in order to get additional food, you need to perform quests in the field, sometimes some metal balls were dragged.Sleep is great, but the construction sometimes interfered.I don't want to talk about work at all - the salary is as much as 3 leaves.Plus, the toilet was everywhere, they could poop on me and the neighbors.Every day there were fewer and fewer guests, we were told that they were not given clothes in the shower, so they froze.In general, the rest was good, free, although in the 45th I was recognized as a fascist and sent to the Gulag, to which I have already written a nice review.In general, my family and I really liked it, although one night they all disappeared somewhere, but I'm sure they deserved more comfortable rooms on the 1st floor.In general, a wonderful hotel!

The place is certainly terrible, but the feelings that it causes are not ordinary, it is worth visiting, as you find yourself on another planet or in another reality. Tickets for the high season were booked on their website in advance, there were no tickets in one group, they took two groups of different nationalities, but they went with my husband, we did not need a guide, we went ourselves, so we managed to devote a lot of time to inspect the first camp, it took 5 hours, unfortunately, when we arrived by shuttle in the second camp, it started to rain so heavily that they refused to inspect and returned to the parking lot. We got there by rented car, but there are trains and buses. Minus a star for closing the pavilion organized by the Russian Federation and dedicated to the liberation of the camp, this is the most interesting thing in the history of the camp and it is so necessary to see happy faces of people after all the horrors of staying there.

Yandex has a lot of information about concentration camps: Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Majdanek, Salaspils, Auschwitz, but not a word, not a photo about Dachau ..
But everyone knows the mocking, cynical inscription on the gate "labor makes a man free", there is no more cynical slogan!
And who did the Nazis start destroying in the first Dachau concentration camp?!(although the Finns had concentration camps for a long time), all ...
Communists... Did anyone honor their memory?!
How many communists were killed in all countries? No less than Jews...
how many Communists fought and fought against the Nazis?
Even here, in Russia, no one remembers this. I'm not talking about those who call themselves communists, consider themselves members of the Communist parties.
There is no monument to communists anywhere in the world... Think about it..
I am not an ardent communist, and even more so not a Jew, but I felt offended for these people, hence this sad review was born...

People who visited here after the war say that birds do not sing in the camp. They just don't live there. A sad place. I don't think any stars are required to mark this place, which preserves the memory of thousands of victims of Nazism. This must not happen again! We need to make every effort to do this! Glory to the Soviet soldiers who stopped this nightmare!
