Poland Will Never Forget Nor Forgive
... this, it is still easy to make out the layout of what once stood there.
The cold, remorseless and efficient way in which this place functioned is truly terrifying, even after nearly 70 years have passed since the camp ceased operation. Another building further along was where the prisoners selected for work were processed. They were brought in and made to strip naked.
