My step Grandfather was in Auschwitz and had managed to escape.
He was tortured had his eye cut open, but didn't lose it, while his wife and kids were killed in front of him.
What the Nazi's did is unspeakable for many and hard to believe, but it happened.
We are so lucky not to be in that situation.
In Birkenau barracks, they would have up to 20,000 prisoners at a time they would do random counts throughout the year.
No matter the weather, they would count each person one by one and if there was a miscount, they would start all over again, which could take hours in the day.
People would drop dead and nobody would be allowed to touch them, the dead would still be counted.
We have no idea how lucky we have it.
