Vernichtugslagers

The holocaust is much known for its labor camps, and the gas chambers. Thomas Keneally talks about these in great detail,  I can almost imagine myself being there.  Many people were sent to the Vernichtugslagers (extermination camps). The worst of the extermination camps was Auschwitz, Keneally says that 10,000 deaths a day was normal. The SS soldiers would tell the Jewish people to go into a room, to take a deep breathe, it would "help" clear there lungs. No one ever walked out of that room. The Nazis would take the dead bodies, and before burning them recycle their skin and hair. Keneally does so good at describing these horrors, that it catches my attention greatly.
