The sign seen while entering Auschwitz reads: Work will make you free

Cremiatoria

Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day. Though the holocaust took place in Europe it effected the whole world. Six million Jews were slaughtered because of who they were. The total increased to eleven million when adding the murdered Gypsies, Homosexuals, and the disabled.

Concentration camps covered the European continent with some 20,000 camps work or extermination camps. Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald, and Treblinka are some of the most well known camps. It is estimated that 1.1 million were killed in Auschwitz alone. The death machine killed two or three thousand people a day. The Nazis tried many methods of killing. This included death by firing squad, Carbon monoxide poison, and Zyklon B. The disposal process: crematoria.

The holocaust was very real. It happened because of an immense hate. Let us love one another. Let us accept others as they are. Do not persecute someone based on religion, race, or gender. As people of the world we can never let this happen again. And we can never forget.

I’m really excited to see 42, the true story of Jackie Robinson, the first black baseball player in the major leagues. I love a good baseball movie. After all it is America’s favorite pass time.

DetroitUrbex - Hybrid now/then photos.

Quote from source;

DetroitUrbex takes documentation to new depths (and heights) in this series of collages that show historical use and present conditions in abandoned structures through the lens of students and teachers overlaid with the haunting shots of an urban explorer.

These are awesome!
