"On Auschwitz" (54): Soviet prisoners of war at Auschwitz

Soviet prisoners of war are the fourth largest group of victims
of the German Auschwitz camp, after Jews, Poles and Roma. A total
of 11,964 prisoners of war were registered at the camp. In
addition, according to estimates, at least 3,000 Red Army
soldiers were deported to the camp and murdered without being
entered into the camp records.


Dr. Jacek Lachendro of the Museum's Research Center talks about
the history and fate of Soviet POWs at Auschwitz.
