Auschwitz, final destination of Angers martyrs always chills visitors after nearly 70 years

"The place chills you as soon as you go in", was Percy and Edward's first impression when they crossed the gates of the Auschwitz concentration camp (Poland) where one million Jews was slaughtered from early 1942 till late 1944. "What happened here scares you given (the holocaust) took place no more than 70 years. What a cruelness", they said. Some of their pictures testify the incredible conditions populations coming from all Europa had to face before to die.

One of them shows hundreds of glasses of deported persons in the middle of head of hair. Every person wearing glasses may have a little idea of the "discomfort" they felt without them. Alas, most terrible treatments wera wainting them. One of the surving prisoners who recalled in Angers medias a few weeks ago their arrival at Auschwitz said the guardians told them they would go out "through the chimneys"...

Auschwitz was the "final destination" of those Angers victims deported on July 20th of 1942 (Angers Daily News July 20th 2012) from the Saint-Laud railway station where their martyrdom started. Apparently, no sign commemorates that sad event on that place.
