Birkenau: el final de la via / end of track

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Foto feta amb una càmera sovietica KMZ FT-2, fabricada el 1965; Ilford Delta 100 revelat "stand" una hora amb Rodinal.

Aquest es el punt on la via de tren acaba, a Auschwitz Birkenau. Ara és davant el memorial a les víctimes, però continua estant entre els dos principals forns crematoris i cambres de gas.

Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.

En aquest cas, el camp original (Auschwitz I o Stammlager Auschwitz (camp principal)) fou creat el juny de 1940 en una antiga caserna del exèrcit polonès. Per això està format per edificis de maons de dues plantes, tant diferent de Birkenau. Els nazis hi afegiren més blocs, torres de vigilancia i filferrades. Entorn el camp proliferaren industries de guerra alemanes, aprofitant sense pietat la ma d'obra esclava. Tot i no ser el camp on es va produir la major part de l'extemini massiu (Birkenau), Auschwitz I fou un infern espantós per a tot aquell que hi va anar a parar. L'esperança de vida mitjana era d'uns 3 mesos i els morts foren centenars de milers.

=====================================

Picture taken with a Soviet KMZ FT-2 panoramic camera, made in 1965; Ilford Delta 100 stand developed in Rodinal for 1 hour.

This is the End. The end of the railway track in Auschwitz Birkenau. Now in front of the main Memorial, always has been between the largest crematoria and gas chambers of this death camp.

Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.

In this case, the original and main camp (Auschwitz I or Stammlager Auschwitz) was created in June 1940 in an old Polish army barracks. That is why it consists of two-story brick buildings, so different from Birkenau. The Nazis added more blocks, watchtowers and barbed wire. German war industries proliferated around the camp, exploiting slave labor mercilessly. Despite not being the camp where most of the mass extermination took place (Birkenau), Auschwitz I was a terrifying hell for everyone who ended up there. The average life expectancy was about 3 months and the dead were hundreds of thousands.
