¿Sabías que hubo una boda en Auschwitz? Este fue el enlace entre la española Margarita Ferrer y el brigadista internacional Rudolph Friemel. Se conocieron en la Guerra Civil Española, pero se casaron en el campo de concentración y exterminio nazi de Auschwitz. Breve hilo:

A prisoner in the Nazi concentration camp of Nordhausen shows the pitiful physical condition of one of his fellow inmates. Prisoners in that state were commonly referred to as “Muselmann”. Many died in the days following liberation.

Although the most widespread term was the aforementioned “Muselmann” (because of the posture adopted by the prisoners, which resembled the posture of prostration in Islam), in some camps the terms “Gamel” (from “rotten”) and “Krypel” (from “crippled” or “lame”) were also used.

Eighty-one years ago, on January 27, 1945, the Soviet army liberated the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz. More than 1,100,000 people died in the nearly five years that the camp was operational. Nearly 216,000 of them were children. Never again.

A prisoner reveals the emaciated condition of his companion at the Nordhausen concentration camp. In the camps, those in such a state were referred to as "Muselmann" (pl. "Muselmänner")—a term used for those on the brink of death due to starvation and exhaustion.

RT @RestoringDign: This is one of the hardest photos we’ve restored and colored, and perhaps one of the most necessary. These two men are…

#ISurvivedAuschwitz When Holocaust survivor Tatiana Bucci (Pertoldi) closes her eyes she is taken back to Auschwitz’s children’s barrack. Dr. Mengele mistook her and her sister for twins, and they were spared the gas chamber and survived the Holocaust. Their cousin, Sergio De Simone, did not. He was one of 20 Jewish children, aged five to 12, separated from their families at Auschwitz that were deported to the Neuengamme concentration camp where they were subjected to medical experiments carried out by Nazi SS physician Kurt Heissmeyer. With the Allies nearing Hamburg, the children, who were witnesses to the Nazi’s crimes, were murdered in the basement of a former school. Tatiana would like you to #RememberThis. #Auschwitz
