"On Auschwitz" (17): prisoners with purple triangles - Jehovah’s Witnesses in Auschwitz

The official podcast of the Auschwitz Memorial. The history of Auschwitz is exceptionally complex. It combined two functions: a concentration camp and an extermination center. Nazi Germany persecuted various groups of people there, and the camp complex continually expanded and transformed itself. In the podcast "On Auschwitz," we discuss the details of the history of the camp as well as our contemporary memory of this important and special place.

We kindly ask you to support our mission and share our podcast in social media.
