This exhibition-the result of a partnership between the Spanish firm Musealia and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum-uses 600 original objects, 400 images, and 100 stories to provide a comprehensive history of the camp and the role it played in the Holocaust. The objects range from the intimate (such as shoes and eyeglasses confiscated from victims) to the immense (a Reichsbahn freight wagon, an actual barrack from the Auschwitz III-Monowitz satellite camp); all are eloquent in their testimony. Many objects are on loan from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, and have never traveled before. Other objects and images are drawn from collections around the world, public and private, including Yad Vashem, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Wiener Library.
