| 説明 | Sign (highlighted) reads:From 1941 to 1943, the SS shot several thousand people at the wall in this courtyard between Blocks 10 and 11. Most of those executed here were Polish political prisoners, above all, the leaders and members of te clandestine organizations and people who helped escapees or facilitated contact with the outside world. Poles who had been setenced to death in nearyby towns weres also brought to be shot, incliding men, women, and even children who had been taken hostage in revenge for operations of the Polish resistance against the German occupation. Prisoners of other nationalities and ethnic origins, including Jews and Soviet POWs, were also sometimes shot at this wall.The SS administered brutal punishments here; floggings and the punishment known as "the post", in which prisoners were hung by their wrists, which were twisted behind their backs. The execution wall was dismantled in 1944 on the orders of the camp authorities. Executions were subsequently carried out elsewhere, most often in the gas chambers and cremetoria of Auschwitz II - Birkenau.After the war, the execution wall was partially reconstructed by the Museum.You are entering a courtyard where the SS murdered thousands of people. Please maintain silence here remember their suffering and show respect for their memory. |
