Auschwitz

Auschwitz was ran as an efficient machine. The Nazis would control

who would go where, and they would choose who would live. Adolf

Eichmann organized the determination of Jews. Prisoners employed

in Auschwitz would get rid of the body’s. The Nazis would sort left

things such as suitcases, shoes, hair, toothbrushes, and fake limbs

were put to reuse so that other people who didn’t have it would

get it( not for Jew or other prisoners).
