They have dictated how we build, eat, communicate, wage war, create art, travel, and worship. Some, such as stone, iron, and bronze, lend their names to the ages. Others, such as gold, silver, and diamond, contributed to the rise and fall of great empires.

C'è un evento chiave nella storia di Auschwitz. Il 12 maggio del 1942, un convoglio da Sosnowiec scarica 1500 ebrei che, per la prima volta, non vengono né internati, né selezionati per le squadre di lavoro, né picchiati o freddati con un colpo di pistola.
