“The ceramic rack was buried in the ground among the ruins of one of the former crematoria,” Bartosz Bartyzel, spokesman for the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum at Oswiecim, southern Poland, said.
“It is an object directly linked to the horror of the Holocaust,” he said, adding that bodies would have been placed on the rack before being incinerated.
The ceramic rack showed signs of heavy use and of having been exposed to extremely high temperatures, as well as damage from when retreating Nazi forces attempted to destroy the crematoria in January 1945 before the arrival of the Soviet Red Army.
The museum previously had one such crematorium rack.
Between 1940 and 1945 Nazi Germany killed some 1.1 million people at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in what was then Nazi-occupied Poland.
The vast majority of the victims were Jews, targeted by Nazi Germany’s campaign of genocide against all of Europe’s Jews.
Polish anti-Nazi partisans, Gypsies and Soviet prisoners of war were among the camp’s other victims.
Can we put Iran’s Imadingbat on this thing?
why does your article add Polish anti-Nazi partisans, Gypsies and Soviet prisoners of war were among the camp’s other victims

What we should remember that in those crematoria frume Yidden and non-frum Yidden were burned as well my little cousins, aunts, uncles and brother. We should act with more chesed to another Yid regardless of his garb.

May we all have only Revealed Good immediately.
what all of you are missing that never in history has a government used all its power and institutions in the extermination of one race/nation the Jews and as Hitler said in his speeches “wir werden das Judentum vernichten” we will exterminate Jewry and this with the silent approval of the world because he hit the the right button/catalyst and that is antisemitism. Nations watched and covened a meeting in Switzerland which resulted in empty words and they were glad that Hitler accomplished his dirty work.

One more item to the criticizers of “Israel” Eichmann was cought in Argentinia but Mengele was in Paraguay well protected by other Nazis who travelled there with Swiss travel papers. The Mossad [tzionim] attempted to kidnap him and some teams were killed in the attempt. Just walk in the average Yeshiva and ask about Eichmann, Treblinka you will a blank stare. Matter of fact it is subject non-grata
