Auschwitz was liberated January 27, 1945. In this place over 1.1 million people, 1 million of whom were Jews, were murdered. The purpose of this photo essay is to remember those who died as well as those who survived. Never forget.
As of January, 2020 Gunter Demnig has installed 75,000 Stolpersteine (stumbling blocks), each of which commemorates a victim of National Socialism. The Stolperstein is a brass plague, which is installed at the last known address of the victim. The plaque contains the name of the person that lived at this location, the birthdate, the date deported and to where, and the outcome (murdered, survived).
