Seventy years ago, Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by Soviet troops. Now, the BBC News is giving the world a haunting look into what the camp looks like today, and the footage is chilling!
Located in Poland, Auschwitz was the largest death camp established by the Germans during World War II, and more than a million people — the vast majority of them Jews — died there.
The BBC sent a video drone over the concentration camp, giving a haunting tour of Auschwitz. The footage begins on the railway tracks leading into Auschwitz-Birkenau, where trains filled with victims arrived at the camp almost every day between 1942 and the summer of 1944. Then, it continues past the entrance, where an iron sign bears the words Arbeit Macht Frei — "Work sets you free."
The drone continues through the brick buildings and the courtyard to blocks 10 and 11, where many of the executions took place. Today, Auschwitz is now a museum run by the Polish Culture Ministry and is visited by thousands of tourists and survivors every year.
