Birkenau: la creu de la discordia / the cross of discord

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

Ja he comentat abans com un lloc de gran tensió als anys 80 i 90 entorn Auschwitz fou al sud del Bloc 11, on es plantaren moltes creus entorn un convent situat al edifici conegut com el "teatre", fins que finalment les monges marxaren als anys 90. Doncs entorn Birkenau hi ha una problematica similar, encara, en el edifici dels antics barracons de les SS, actualment una parroquia catòlica, amb una gran creu que plana sobre els antics barracons de Birkenau.

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.

Birkenau, o Auschwitz II, fou la expansió massiva del camp original (després conegut com Auschwitz I) a partir de 1942, inicialment amb el proposit d'explotar l'influx massiu de presoners de guerra sovietics, però que aviat va canviar cap a camp d'extermini per als jueus europeus, francesos, holandesos, grecs i sobretot, polonesos i hongaresos. Les cambres de gas de Birkenau començaren a funcionar el març de 1942 i no pararen fins octubre de 1944. Finalment, el camp fou alliberat el 21 de gener de 1945. Els nazis hi assassinaren més de 1.300.000 persones, la gran majoria just baixar dels trens, i la gran majoria, jueus...

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

I have already commented before how a place of great tension in the 80s and 90s around Auschwitz was south of Block 11, where many crosses were planted around a convent located in the building known as the "theatre", until finally the nuns left in the years 90. Well around Birkenau there is a similar problem, still, in the building of the old barracks of the SS, currently a Catholic parish, with a large cross that hovers over the old barracks of Birkenau.

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.

Birkenau, or Auschwitz II, was the massive expansion of the original camp (later known as Auschwitz I) from 1942, initially with the purpose of exploiting the massive influx of Soviet prisoners of war, but which soon changed to a camp of extermination for the European Jews, French, Dutch, Greek and above all, Polish and Hungarian. The Birkenau gas chambers began operating in March 1942 and did not stop until October 1944. Finally, the camp was liberated on January 21, 1945. The Nazis murdered more than 1,300,000 people there, the vast majority just of the trains, and the great majority, Jews...
