Auschwitz has been described as 'Hell on Earth,' and as the liberators would discover the true scale of the Nazi genocide was colossal. Under the guise of the Second World War, the Third Reich would inflict a huge degree of suffering onto the ethnic minorities that Hitler deemed to be racially inferior. The Holocaust would be the systematic destruction and murder of millions across Europe. Auschwitz would be the largest part of the killing and genocide with well over a million dying within the walls of the camp.

Inside Auschwitz there wasn't just the gas chambers, there was a number of torture devices and rooms which were aimed at breaking the prisoners who would be held there. One of the most horrific parts of the camp was the standing cells which prisoners would be forced into. For days on end a number of prisoners would be held in a tiny room and cell, and kept in horrific conditions. At Dachau there would also be standing cells, and these forced the prisoners to be in one position unable to move for 24 hours a day.

It was like being stuck in a chimney all day, and the use of the standing cells were almost like using oubliettes in medieval times. It was in a sense medieval torture applied to the 20th century and one of the worst crimes in history, The Holocaust.

So join us today as we look at 'The Oubliette of Auschwitz - The Horrific Standing Cells.'
