Auschwitz by Peter Cunningham But for me the most frightening thing....on a walk to the extreme north-eastern corner of the camp, I found a building sporting a large crucifix looming over the 220 volt electric barbed wire. The building was originally built as the new SS Headquarters, but had been given to the Catholic Church in 1982 to be used as a retreat center. Unfinished when the war ended, it had been intended as central command for the coming EXPANSION of the already huge Birkenau Concentration Camp. |
