The selection procedure carried out on the ramps was as follows: families were divided after leaving the train cars and all the people were lined up in two columns. The men and older boys were in one column, and the women and children of both sexes in the other.
Next, the people were led to the camp doctors and other camp functionaries conducting selection. They judged the people standing before them on sight and, sometimes eliciting a brief declaration as to their age and occupation, decided whether they would live or die.
Age was one of the principal criteria for selection. As a rule, all children below 16 years of age (from 1944, below 14) and the elderly were sent to die. As a statistical average, about 20% of the people in transports were chosen for labor. They were led into the camp, registered as prisoners, and assigned the next numbers in the various series.
Of the approximately 1.1 million Jews deported to Auschwitz, about 200 thousand were chosen in this way. The remainder, about 900 thousand people, were killed in the gas chambers.

Eighteen-year-old Hanoch Kolman was deported to Auschwitz in the fall of 1942.
He was put to work in Auschwitz-Birkenau and forced to maintain and repair the brick ovens of the crematoria. The standard prisoner outfit gave little protection in the cold Polish winter. In order to help him keep warm, a friend placed a lining in his cap.

German nationalists had long called for a return of the territories Germany had lost to Poland in 1918–19, and for an expansion of Lebensraum (living space) in the east. In a pragmatic move, Germany entered into a secret agreement with the Soviet Union to partition Poland.
Hitler authorized the transformation of the annexed land into a German landscape for German people.
This project included the deportation of Poles to the central and eastern part of the German-controlled territories, an immigration of ethnic Germans from eastern Europe, and the imprisonment of Polish Jews in ghettos until their intended removal to Madagascar or elsewhere. Back in the German Reich, Hitler also authorized a program to kill inmates of German asylums deemed to be a burden on the war effort.
This passport of Jakob, Roza, and Isabella Goldin, shows a statement by Jan Zwartendijk that no visa is required to enter Dutch colonies in the West Indies (July 30, 1940), and the transit visa subsequently issued by Chiune Sugihara (August 5, 1940).

The collaboration of prisoners was key to the organization of all the German concentration camps.
The hierarchy among the prisoners included the Lagerälteste (camp elder); the many Blockältester (barrack elders); and the Rapportschreibers (roll-call secretaries).
Kapos oversaw work details.
The people in these positions were shielded from the worst aspects of daily life and also wielded unlimited power over their fellow prisoners.

A veteran of World War I, Bruno Schwoch was the personal assistant to Otto Klemperer, conductor of the Prussian State Opera in Berlin.
In May 1933 Schwoch, like Klemperer, was fired because he was a “non-Aryan.”
Schwoch appealed this decision on the ground of his military service. The appeal was rejected.
Klemperer left for the United States. Schwoch and his wife immigrated to Palestine in November 1934.

Auschwitz was the largest and most organized death Nazi camp. More people was killed here than in any other German Nazi camp.
It is our mission, of one of us, to keep the memory of the victims alive and to remind what human race is capable of and prevent something similar from happening again: say no to hatred and discrimination in all of its multiple forms.

This miniature china rabit doll was carried into Auschwitz by an unknown deportee, (1940s). It is very likely that his owner was a young kid who, presumably, was killed upon arrival.

We are honored to announce that the Auschwitz Exhibition coproduced by Musealia and Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz was yesterday awarded with the Grand Prix at the Europa Nostra Awards, by the European Commission and Europa Creativa
When choosing Auschwitz Exhibition to receive this year’s Grand Prix in the category Education, Training and Awareness-Raising, the Board of Europa Nostra noted: “Exhibitions such as Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. – based on rigorous research and European collaboration – are important in that they raise awareness and make the lessons from our shared past more tangible, offering factual and clear evidence of what can happen when various forms of extremism are tolerated”.
Above all, the Award comes as an important tribute to all the victims, and a powerful reminder of how the story of Auschwitz is part of our shared cultural heritage.
Hundreds of thousands have visited the exhibition, many of which are young students. It is very encouraging that so many people, in different continents, are willing to face such a deeply problematic part of our history. It speaks about the responsibility many individuals share not only to remember the past, but also to critically analyse our present.
This recognition goes to the memory of all the Holocaust victims and their families, all the institutions and people that helped us to create this exhibition and our team of historians, museum experts, architects, conservators, designers and communication experts who indefatigably work every day to approach Auschwitz lessons to our visitors.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

The Kristallnacht was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on 9–10 November 1938.
Jewish homes, hospitals and schools were ransacked as attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland and over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, while at least 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and transferred most of them from local prisons to Dachau, Buchenwald, Sachsenhausen, and other concentration camps.
By the end of that year most Jews remaining in Germany (which included Austria and the Sudetenland) wanted to leave, as the Nazi regime set about completing the process of disenfranchisement and expropriation.
Jews were allowed to participate in the economy only as forced laborers; they were banned from theaters, cinemas, concerts, exhibitions, and parks. All Jewish communal and cultural organizations were shut down. Some Germans tried to support their Jewish friends and colleagues, but the majority stood by in silence.

The “helpers” of the Frank family bought six bags of dried beans for the people hiding in the Secret Annex. Peter van Pels hoisted them up to the attic, but one 55-pound bag tore open.
Anne wrote on November 9, 1942: “We started picking them up right away, but beans are so little and slippery that they roll into every nook and cranny.”
After his return from Auschwitz, Otto found these beans still lodged between the cracks of the stairs in the annex.

Female prisoners are escorted to the barracks by the Blockälteste (block or barracks leader) at the left.
Prisoner functionaries (Funktionshäftling) were prisoners who were assigned by the SS guards to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks in the camp.
This functionary system minimized costs by allowing camps to function with fewer SS personnel.
The system was also designed to turn victim against victim, as the prisoner functionaries were pitted against their fellow prisoners in order to maintain the favor of their SS guards.
If they were derelict, they would be returned to the status of ordinary prisoners and be subject to other prisoner functionaries.

In the Middle Ages, Jews were forced to wear distinctive clothing or badges as a way to discourage social interaction.
This imperial proclamation shows the circle Jews had to wear in 16th century Germany.
Reinhard Heydrich, architect of the Nazis’ Final Solution, gave the artifact to Hermann Göring as a birthday present on January 12, 1940.

In 1939, Jacob Klipper left Vienna for Palestine to prepare a foothold for his family. He expected that his wife, Klara-Kayla, and his children, Heinz and Gaby, would soon follow.
He took most of their belongings with him, including this dress.
The outbreak of war made it impossible for Klara-Kayla and the children to leave Vienna. On September 6, 1943, they were murdered in Auschwitz.

This SS dagger (1933-1945) carries the SS motto: “Meine Ehre heist Treue” (My honor is loyalty).
In a state organized on the Führerprinzip (leader principle), the SS claimed preeminence because each member had sworn unconditional loyalty and obedience to Hitler.

Some of the objects displayed in the exhibition, shown to the public for the first time, may seem trivial at first glance. But when one realizes that these are the last remains, the only witnesses to the lives of some of the millions of people murdered by the Nazi Germany… your heart shrinks and your mind begins to search for answers to try to understand.
How could a culturally advanced country as Germany commit one of the greatest crimes in history? How did Auschwitz become the main site for these killings? And, above all, how could such a place come into existence?

“I stare directly ahead as I take off my clothes. I am afraid. By not looking at anyone I hope no one will see me. I hesitate before removing my bra. I decide to leave my bra on. Just then a shot rings out. The charge is ear-shattering. Some women begin to scream. Others weep. I quickly take my bra off. . . . A burden was lifted. The burden of individuality. Of associations. Of identity. Of the recent past.”

October, 1935 |
The "Law for the Protection of the Hereditary Health of the German People" requires all prospective marriage partners to obtain from the public health authorities a certificate of fitness to marry.
Such certificates are refused to those suffering from "hereditary illnesses" and contagious diseases and those attempting to marry in violation of the Nuremberg Laws.
Just a month later, the first supplemental decree of the Nuremberg Laws extended the prohibition on marriage or sexual relations between people who could produce "racially suspect" offspring.
A week later, the minister of the interior interpreted this to mean relations between "those of German or related blood" and Roma (Gypsies), Black people, or their offspring.
On March 1936 Hitler would win the elections after a single-question referendum.
From then on, the segregation and persecution of the German Jews first and Jews across Europe intensified.

October, 1942 |
Beginning of the deportation to #Auschwitz of 46,000 Jewish people from the occupied Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
By the end of 1942, only 15,530 Jews remained in the Protectorate, 13% of the 1939 population. In June 1943, 4,000 Jewish Council employees and their families were sent to Theresienstadt in the last large deportation. By the end of 1944, only 6,795 Jews lived in the Protectorate. Some of them were deported in early 1945 after the mixed marriage exception was cancelled.
The number of Jews who survived in hiding is unknown.

October, 1939 | Nazi Germany orders the killing of thousands of Germans with physical or mental disabilities to killing centers such as Hartheim Castle.
False records were purposefully kept regarding the reason, date and place of death in order to mislead relatives and hamper investigations. Pulmonary tuberculosis was a popular reason of death, since it was a communicable disease that made it necessary to burn the corpse immediately. The system of exchanging files amongst the euthanasia centres contributed to the success of this cover-up action.
It is estimated that 250,000 people will die under this 'euthanasia' program.
The Hartheim Castle documentation centre is one of the the more than 20 international institutions that have lended part of their collections to Auschwitz Exhibition

The possessions you see here were discovered in Kanada barracks after the liberation. When you look closer they seem very simple, basic even. But by the time people arrived at Auschwitz this is what they had been reduced to. They’re the last fragments of whole existences. #NotlongagoNotfaraway #NohacemuchoNomuylejos
Auschwitz was the largest Nazi concentration and death camp and the most lethal of all. More than 1,100,000 people were killed behind its barbed-wire fences. Today the remains and history of this unambiguous symbol of the horrors carried out by Nazi Germany serve as a universal warning of the dangers that stem from hatred, intolerance and antisemitism, and make us see human cruelty at its uttermost. Now, for the first time in History, more than 700 original objects are shown in the first travelling exhibition about Auschwitz co-produced by #Musealia and the @Auschwitz Memorial We will soon announce some information about our next destinations, after our current stay at the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust in NYC.
"Time there was not like it is here on earth. Every fraction of a minute there passed on a different scale of time. And the inhabitants of this planet had no names, they had no parents nor did they have children. There they did not dress in the way we dress here; they were not born there and they did not give birth; they breathed according to different laws of nature; they did not live - nor did they die - according to the laws of this world. Their name was the number." Ka-Tzetnik (Yechiel Dinur), Auschwitz survivor, during the Trial of Adolf Eichmann, Session 68.
Hasta finales de 1941, los prisioneros de #Auschwitz dormían en el mismo suelo de los barracones. Posteriormente, cuando se aumentara la población de cada barracón a 800-1000 prisioneros, fueron introducidas estas literas triples, donde se hacinaban entre 10 y 12 personas en lugar de las 4 para las que estaban preparadas.

The Secretary-General of the United Nations, H.E.

Vestido Gaby Klipper
El judío austríaco Jacop Klipper partió hacia Palestina en 1939 con la intención de allanar el camino a su familia. Suponiendo que su esposa, Klara-Kayla Klipper, y sus hijos, Heinz y Gaby, lo seguirían en breve, llevó consigo la mayor parte de sus pertenencias, entre las que se incluía este vestido de Gaby. Sin embargo, el comienzo de la guerra impidió a Klara y a los niños salir de Viena. Los tres murieron asesinados en Auschwitz el 6 de septiembre de 1943. Imagen: Vestido de Gaby Klipper (finales de la década de 1930). Colección de Yad Vashem. Donado por Mensahe Kliper, Kibbutz Magen, (Jerusalem - Israel).
Gorro prisionero
Durante su estancia en Auschwitz, los prisioneros solo recibían un único uniforme harapiento, un gorro y un par de zapatos o toscos e incómodos zuecos de madera que producían graves heridas a la mayoría de presos, haciéndolos enfermar. Esta ropa, con la que trabajaban durante el día y dormían por la noche, estaba a menudo infestada de piojos. El campamento para mujeres de Ravensbrück se encargaba de producir estos uniformes de material de lino a rayas. En Auschwitz, los prisioneros a menudo recibían uniformes usados de los presos que habían muerto, y cuando estos escaseaban, recibían ropas de civiles marcada con pintura e insignias. Imagen: Gorro de prisionero (1940-44), de la colección de Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz, expuesto en Auschwitz Exhibition hasta el 3 de febrero.
Litera
Hasta finales de 1941, los prisioneros que se encontraban en Birkenau dormían en el mismo suelo de los barracones. Estos barracones hechos de madera, era inapropiados para la habitación humana, ya que no poseían un sistema de drenaje eficiente o aislamiento contra el frío cortante. Los barracones estaban originalmente preparados para 500 personas. Cuando posteriormente comenzaron a introducirse literas tripes, hechas en un principio para albergar cuatro prisioneros en cada una, los comandantes de la SS hicieron aumentar la capacidad a 800-1.000 prisioneros por barracón. A menudo, en cada litera se hacinaban de diez a doce personas en lugar de cuatro. En la imagen, litera del barracón de los prisioneros (1941-44) perteneciente a al Auschwitz Memorial / Muzeum Auschwitz y expuesta en Auschwitz Exhibition hasta el 3 de febrero.
Juden raus
Comercializado como un «juego para toda la familia extraordinariamente divertido y muy actual», el objetivo de este juego de mesa consistía en expulsar a los «judíos» de las murallas de la ciudad. Cada jugador debía mover un «policía alemán» por el tablero para caer en uno de los negocios «de propietarios judíos» que se mostraban en trece círculos rodeados en rojo. Aquel que lo lograba, capturaba a un «judío» (representado con un rostro feo y contorsionado en las piezas con forma de sombrero) para llevarlo extramuros. En el tablero puede leerse: «¡Tira bien los dados para apresar muchos judíos!», y: «¡Si consigues expulsar a seis judíos, serás el vencedor indiscutible!». La inscripción de la esquina inferior derecha dice: «¡A Palestina!». Aunque el juego utilizaba crudos estereotipos antisemitas y estaba muy de acuerdo con las ideas fascistas propagadas en ese momento, como el odio racial, la necesidad de deportación forzosa o la confiscación de propiedades, no fue ninguna invención de la cúpula nazi. Este juego de mesa fue desarrollado durante el Tercer Reich por la exitosa compañía alemana de juguetes Günther and Co. Imagen: Objeto perteneciente al The Wiener Library y expuesto en Auschwitz Exhibition.
Kanada
Los miles de hombres, mujeres y niños deportados a Auschwitz apenas contaban con unas pocas pertenencias cuando llegaban al campo. A su llegada, los comandantes de la SS les arrebataban lo poco que les quedaba para, posteriormente, redistribuirlos entre la población de Alemania. Todos ellos, en general de escaso valor económico, eran conservados y clasificados en un sector conocido como “Kanada”, siempre a rebosar debido a la gran cantidad de deportados que llegaban diariamente al campo. La tarea de clasificar y organizar dichas posesiones para mandarlas al Reich correspondía a los propios prisioneros. Cuando acababa la clasificación la mayoría de los propietarios anteriores ya estarían muertos. Imagen: Posesiones personales sustraídas a deportados a #Auschwitz (1942-1945), expuestas hasta el 3 de febrero en @auschwitzexhibition.
Vagón de tren Auschwitz
Este vagón de mercancías es uno de los 120.000 que se construyeron entre 1910 y 1927, empleados por la Deutsche Reichsbahn (red ferroviaria nacional de Alemania) para transportar alimentos, ganado y otros artículos. En la II Guerra Mundial se emplearon también para trasladar soldados y prisioneros de guerra, así como para deportar judíos y romaníes a los guetos o los centros de exterminio de la Polonia ocupada y los campos de concentración repartidos por Europa. Durante las deportaciones a Auschwitz se llegaba a hacinar a 80 personas en cada vagón, en una superficie de apenas 20 m2. Los trenes regresaban sin seres humanos, pero cargados con sus posesiones. Ciudadanos polacos, rehenes y prisioneros de guerra soviéticos, romaníes y, sobre todo, judíos –descendientes de los sefardíes españoles– fueron trasladados, a la fuerza, a destinos que les eran desconocidos. El más común era un lugar ubicado en la Polonia anexionada: Auschwitz. #nohacemuchonomuylejos #notlongagonotfaraway #WeRemember #Madrid

The Photograph
He sits and looks at a photograph
of a woman with beautiful hair.
Her eyes are soft and maternal,
with a beauty he wouldn’t compare.
As he studies the photo more closely
large tears appear in his eyes.
Recalling his childhood in memories
he breaths with a series of sighs.
She taught him to love and to value
never to hate or detest.
Live life to full with great gusto
follow dreams like a breath-taking quest.
Laughter was what he remembered,
a childhood as warm as the sun.
Neighbours and friends from all cultures,
cordially living as one.
Their life was suddenly shattered,
aspirations were crushed like a bug.
Freedom exchanged for oppression
and prejudice spread like a drug.
His mother was dragged from his clutches
pushed with the butt of a gun.
He watched as she fell in the puddle,
the horror for them had begun.
The stench in the train was abhorrent,
a mixture of fear with the sweat.
Sadly their plight was not over,
the nightmare was still to come yet!
Frightened, cold and bewildered,
bodies now shaking with fear.
Thrown to the ground without question,
their fate becoming more clear.
He never again saw his mother,
she vanish from view as he cried.
What she taught him would have far more meaning,
her wisdom was what he applied.
As he looks at her beautiful image
his forearm now comes into view.
The world may know what had happened
but not what they all had gone through

Please come to Southeastern Michigan. You choose! The Detroit Institute of Art or The Jewish Holocaust Museum...Thank you in advance.
Me ha parecido interesante esta exposición, pero quizás esperaba más. Al principio, cuando empieza a hablar la audioguía dice algo que se podría sacar mucho más provecho para que no se vuelva a repetir. Y quizás es una frase que a muchos se le pasa desapercibida. Es algo as´como "esta exposición está hecha para darnos cuenta de que nuestra sociedad de hoy en día no está muy lejos de aquélla que provocó este exterminio". No hubiera estado mal hacer un paralelo con lo que ocurrió entonces y lo que ocurre ahora, que a veces puede llegar a ser lo mismo.
Por eso adjunto esta frase que me recuerda tanto a investigaciones actuales sobre manipulación genética para que los bebés "sean perfectos"
Todos necesitamos PAZ. La memoria, entretanto, alimenta la inquietud. Los que no pueden recordar el pasado están condenados a repetirla. Entresaco estas dos frases de la exposicion de "AUSCHWITZ. No hace mucho. No muy lejos", de esta muestra que exhibe el Centro de Exposiciones Arte Canal Madrid hasta el 3 de enero 2019, para recomendar de manera indispensable en estos tiempos de tanta euforia autoritaria. Esta exposición que de manera itinerante recorrerá los distintos lugares de Europa, nos hace un balance de la historia del Holocausto que llevó a la aniquilación de mas de 1.100.000 personas de las que el 90% eran judíos. Una clara evidencia de la catástrofe que sucede al odio y la intoleranciaintolerancia en el seno de la sociedad, cada vez mas diversa, es uno de los principales retos del futuro.
Tal y como se están poniendo las cosas este tipo de exposiciones deberían ser imprescindibles en los centros educativos.
