"On Auschwitz" (50): Official correspondence of prisoners of Auschwitz

Nazi Germany deported some 1,3 million people to Auschwitz. Only
a little above 400 thousand were registered in the camp as
prisoners. Some could conduct correspondence with the outside
world, however it had a unique character.


Dr. Wojciech Płosa, the head of the Archives of the Museum talks
about official prisoners’ correspondence: letters and postcards
sent out from the camp and sent to the camp by their relatives.
