Rachel Lucas’ visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
I think this is something people really do forget about the extermination camps. The main image we all have of the camps is of the starving inmates at liberation in 1945, the piles of starved bodies. Always adults. We forget that at least hundreds of thousands of children were brought to camps like Auschwitz and were not ever photographed again, such as at liberation, because they were taken (usually with their mothers) straight from the train to the gas chamber.
But not before the Nazis took their little clothes off them and shipped those clothes back to German civilians to keep Frau Housewife happy while Herr Hubby was gone to war.
Via.
