Auschwitz Life to the left; death to the right. This was the greeting upon an arrival to Auschwitz, a notorious Holocaust concentration camp. No one knew what the future held for them and their loved ones. The survivors still remember the realistic nightmares at Auschwitz.

Zachary Fedewa Ms. J Williams 5th Period English II 2 April 2013 Holocaust Profit Makers Many companies contributed to the assistance needed for the Nazis throughout the Holocaust but it is no secret that some companies take up more responsibility than others for the attempted extermination of the Jews.
