Data di messa in onda: Lug 30, 2022

For those of you new to this topic there were basically two types of Nazi camps: the “extermination camp”, for which the sole purpose was the mass killing of human beings. The German word for extermination camp is “Vernichtungs Lager”. The “Konzentrations Lager”, or concentration camp, was also a place of horror, but while in hundreds of thousands of cases, there was no real difference between the two types of camps, very generally speaking, there was a greater chance to survive in the camps designated “KZ” or “kah tsett”, as the letters and acronym was pronounced in German. In the extermination camps one's chances of survival were dramatically reduced. Though it is the most infamous camp, Auschwitz was actually three camps: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II - Birkenau, and Auschwitz III – Monowitz. As you may know, “Auschwitz” is the German word for the town of Óswięcim ( pronounced “Ohss vee etch im”) in south-west Poland, where the camp was located.
