Belgian Museum, Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum, Oswiecim, Poland

A musical tribute (Adagio for Organ and Strings by Albinoni) showing the visually impressive Belgian Exhibition at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum in Oswiecim, Poland. The video includes photographs taken in the Exhibition and a brief walk through the hanging images.

Although not clear from this video, below each picture is the information of train evacuations from Belgium to Poland.

Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.

Forgot to mention it. Have put it in the notes: Its Adagio for Organ and Strings by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Thanks.

The saddest thing is this is just a small portion of all the victims that were starved, beaten, gassed, and burned throughout all these camps..

Impressive. It's sad to see all the faces of these fellow countrymen and women, deported to a foreign land where they died a horrible death... May we never forget.

To see the faces! Hope at the end of all times all people will be save with-in the Name above all names. Thank you Maurice also for this awesome video of you. Made favorite, Koos.

Until the day I die ....I will never figure out what possessed the Germans to do this. It is incomprehensible to me that these people should be dragged from their houses loaded into cattle cars and sent to be gassed in a big concrete room and then burned. What on earth were the people of Germany thinking? How did they even in their wildest dreams expect the rest of the world to let them get away with it? They lost the war when they gassed thr first Jewish child. Shot the first Polish mother.
