Monologue: As I arrived from the freight trains into the Auschwitz camp, the flames and strange odor greeted us with menacing flicks of flame coming out from one of the crematoriums. If you showed the smallest bit of defiance or weakness, you would be instantly shot. It was a well known fact that every six months, the group you came in with would be gassed, excluding the “strongest ones”.
The
first thing you encounter in the gas chamber was a dressing room.
People were tricked by the writing on its walls, saying: "Put shoes into
the cubby holes and tie them together so you will not lose them. After
the showers you will receive hot coffee." Then the victims undressed
themselves and entered, where they would never come back. When the room
reached its maximum capacity, the small children were thrown through a
window and were killed by the guards smashing their skulls against the
wall. Then the gas would slowly enter the chamber. The lungs of the
victims would gradually rupture, and after a few minutes you would hear
unusual thumps and noises. After that the guards would unlock the
chamber, and those who still displayed signs of life were beaten to
death.
