Even before his election as supreme shepherd of the Catholic Church, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires had met several times with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for a joint book project. On the subject of the Holocaust, Jorge Bergoglio (later Pope Francis, who died Easter Monday 2025) said: "The Shoah is a genocide like the others of the 20th century, but with one particularity. I don't want to say that it is paramount in importance and the others secondary, but there is one particularity, an idolatrous construction against the Jewish people. The pure race, the superman, these are idols upon which National Socialism developed (...) And every Jew killed was a slap in the face for the living God in the name of idols." (Source: "On Heaven and Earth, Jorge Bergoglio in Conversation with Rabbi Abraham Skorka", Goldmann-Verlag, Munich 2014)

The monument found here commemorates the fate of Margot Frank (1926 to 1945) and Anne Frank (1929 to 1945). She would likely have remained one of the countless victims of the Nazi regime, unknown to the public today, had her diary not survived the Holocaust. The personal thoughts of a young Jewish girl, originally written down only for herself in her diary, have posthumously become a contribution to the historiography of that ill-fated period of Nazi dictatorship. The last line of the gravestone contains a verse from the Hebrew Bible, which reads (in the words of the German Standard Version): "The breath of man is the lamp of the Lord."

"With Resolution 60/7, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on November 1, 2005, January 27 was declared the International Day of Remembrance in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust. This date was chosen to commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945 and to call humanity to reflect on the atrocities of the past. Auschwitz was chosen because it was the largest of the concentration and extermination camps established by the Nazis. More than 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered there, and their bodies were cremated. Reflecting on these terrible events should keep the memory of the past alive and serve as a warning for the future." (Rabbi Abraham Skorka)

The ARD Media Library website describes the series' mission with the simple words: "The WITNESS OF THE TIME series explores the fate of people who suffered the terror of the Nazi regime as children, adolescents, or young adults." Many individual fates of Jewish citizens from that unfortunate period of National Socialism (who, however – unlike the concentration camp victims buried here in mass graves – survived the Holocaust) are documented in the film contributions, such as that of Rabbi Dr. HENRY G. BRANDT. The contribution is titled: "In Search of the Lost."

... and oppressive at the same time... as I walked around, the noise of the current military training area of the local barracks rang out in the background... machine gun fire... grenade explosions...

Built and erected by surviving prisoners in the first days after the liberation by the British.. since then renovated several times.. but always in original style and form

When the British liberated the camp, they found over 10,000 unburied people left behind by the Nazis

Just let it work... and think about "today"... a raised index finger, I think
