Auschwitz is synonymous to genocide. The death camps that the Nazi built to murder millions of Jews and others, stand now as reminders of this horrible crime. There are those who deny history and there are those who revise it to suit their own purposes. This is why it is necessary to preserve relics and documents of history.
29 sketches of the death camps, blueprints of facilities including the gas chambers were recently discovered in Berlin. These were sent to Israel where the government plans to display them in the Holocaust Museum. The drawings, some bearing dates as far back as 1941, prove that the death camps were products of deliberate planning by the Nazi.
As the survivors of the Holocaust grow fewer in numbers, their story must be told to a new generation. For while it is true that we are born free, it is also our nature to be complacent. Perhaps around a camp fire out in the mountains, young souls may yet hear about Auschwitz and swear it will not happen again.
