I really wish more of the camp was preserved. The Polish government really shouldn't let this place go, it should serve as a reminder to the rest of the world.

“I can play the cello, it saved my life”. 😓

[monopoly]

It’s hard to believe something so horrible happened. Those poor people....

[SkittlesSkittles.]

Being able to move the camera scared the shit out of me

[Athena]

This was amazing. I didn’t realize just how large the camp was, it’s truly surreal

[thomasmcdaniel]

What amazes me the most is how these monsters can go home at the end of the day to a wife and family as though they were returning from an honest day's work. They had to be satanically possessed.

Thank you so much for making this.
I actually went to Auschwitz last year... I had a tour there.
It was horrible! There was barely any time to check things out.
This video showed me places that I haven't been able to see when I was there.
Beautifully done! Thank you ♥

I can't help but to cry when I see how humans treat each other.

After watching this, I had tears in my eyes. It gave me the creeps. God love all those poor people who died there. R.I.P

[georgeslionheart]

There are no words that can express the horror and sadness of this awful time and place .

[frankiealbarn]

My heart goes out to everyone that lost their lives in this god awful place.

[audreymaqks]

Thank you for sharing this story. I will never understand how the Nazi's could be so cold and heartless to innocent people and children. I can not even imagine the fear that they endured.

[benediktrichardwischgoll]

This gave me goosebumps. It is horrifying to imagine what the Germans did to those people.
I just booked my tickets to Auschwitz for next week to have a look myself of this truly terrible place. We should never forget what happened there to prevent future generations committing those crimes yet again.

[supershaymen]

Abhorrent simply abhorrent what happened both here, across many sites in Poland and across many countries in Europe during WW2 how can humans be so cruel to one another. We need to learn from this terrible scar on humankind and keep learning even now. RIP to the many many victims of these horrific crimes in humbled by your bravery till the end ❤️

[lesmurray]

[theresaholguin]
