David Wingoczewski, a Polish Jew, was deported to Auschwitz I on June 20, 1940, as part of the second transport from the prison in Wiśnicz Nowy.

Upon arrival at the camp, weakened by his time in prison, he was immediately assigned to the camp’s hospital block (Block 21).

Despite his frail condition, on the night of July 6–7, 1940, Wongczewski was forced to participate in a punitive roll call ordered by Rudolf Höss, following the escape of a Polish prisoner earlier that day.

During this 20-hour roll call, David Wongczewski perished, becoming officially recorded as the first inmate to die in Auschwitz.

Babi Yar, a mass grave at the site of the massacre.

On September 29–30, 1941, German soldiers from Einsatzgruppen C, assisted by the Ukrainian police, gathered 33,771 people at the assembly point near the Babin Yar ravine.

There, the Jews were stripped of their belongings and forced to undress. They were then led in groups to the edge of the mass grave, where they were executed with a gunshot to the back of the head.

After the massacre, the corpses were covered with a layer of quicklime and buried. In the summer of 1943, under the command of Paul Blobel, Sonderkommando 1005 exhumed the pit over a six-week period, and the bodies were burned in the open air.

On October 6, 1938, the Grand Council of Fascism approved the Declaration on Race. From that moment, the bureaucratic persecution of Jews in Italy began. The decree, which took effect on October 26, 1938, forbade Italian Jews from marrying A***n citizens or employing A***n workers and domestic staff under the age of forty. It also barred foreign Jews from entering Italian territory, while Jews who had been assimilated into Italy before 1938 were expelled from the country.

Lucienne Kojitsky, born in Paris on February 25, 1942, never knew peace. In 1943, she and her parents were arrested, sent to Drancy, and deported to Auschwitz on February 3, 1944. She was murdered in the gas chambers before her 2nd birthday. May her memory be a blessing.

A synagogue in Fürth, Germany, was set ablaze by N**i soldiers during the violent outbreak of Kristallnacht.

On the night of November 9–10, 1938, Germany and Austria witnessed the "November Pogrom," later known as the Night of Broken Glass. During this orchestrated wave of terror, N**i Party members looted and set fire to hundreds of synagogues (319 in total), along with around 7,500 Jewish-owned shops and businesses. Dozens of heads of families were murdered in their homes before their wives and children, while about a hundred Jewish women were subjected to sexual violence by N**i militants despite the regime’s racist taboos. In the days that followed, approximately 30,000 Jewish men were arrested by the Gestapo and deported to concentration camps such as Dachau, Sachsenhausen, and Buchenwald.

Leon Berkman was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1926, into a Jewish family. During World War II, he lived in Paris at 46 rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi, in the 11th arrondissement.

When the N**is invaded France, Leon was just fourteen years old. Two years later, on July 16, 1942, he was taken from his home during a mass arrest of Jews in the city. On July 24, he was deported on Convoy 10 to Auschwitz, where his life was tragically ended at the age of sixteen.

May his memory live on.

Bosnia and Herzegovina. Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand M***i of Jerusalem, inspects a unit of Bosnian Muslim volunteers serving under the N**is.

Appointed Grand M***i of Jerusalem in 1921, al-Husseini became a controversial figure whose ideology was rooted in antisemitism. In the following years, he actively promoted large-scale pogroms and positioned himself as a leader of resistance against British administration in Mandatory Palestine. Between 1934 and 1936, he was outspoken in his opposition to Jewish immigration to Palestine, further cementing his role as a radical political and religious leader.

In November 1941, al-Husseini traveled to Berlin, where on November 28 he met Adolf Hi**er. During this meeting, he pledged to recruit Muslim soldiers for the Waffen-SS in exchange for German support in the struggle against the British and the promise of a Palestine free of Jews.

By 1943, he began organizing the recruitment of Bosnian Muslim volunteers to fight alongside the N**is, particularly tasked with combating resistance movements across the Balkans.

After the war, al-Husseini was arrested by the French but managed to escape, eventually finding refuge in Egypt. In 1948, he aligned himself against the establishment of the State of Israel. He lived the remainder of his life in exile, dying in Lebanon on July 4, 1974.

His legacy remains deeply divisive — remembered both for his political role in Palestine and for his collaboration with N**i Germany during the Holocaust.

Warsaw, starving children in a street of the ghetto.

On November 16, 1940, following the announcement made weeks earlier on October 2, the N**is officially sealed the Warsaw Ghetto. It occupied just 73 streets out of the city’s 1,800, an area into which nearly 400,000 Jews from Warsaw were forced to live in overcrowded, walled-in conditions.

Life inside the ghetto was marked by hunger, disease, and despair. Starvation claimed countless lives, especially among the most vulnerable — children. Long before the mass deportations to Treblinka began in July 1942, thousands of men, women, and children had already perished within the ghetto walls, victims of deliberate neglect and inhumane policies.

The image of starving children in the Warsaw Ghetto is more than a fragment of history; it is a stark reminder of the cruelty inflicted and the suffering endured. Their faces bear witness to a world that failed them, and their memory demands that we never look away from injustice.

Jewish prisoners boarding a deportation train.

After the N**i-Fascist occupation of Italy in November 1943, mass roundups of Jews took place in major cities such as Turin, Genoa, Florence, and Milan. Around 1,000 people were arrested during these actions. In Milan, Jewish detainees were held in the fifth wing of San Vittore prison while awaiting deportation.

On December 6, 1943, the first group of 169 Jews was taken from the prison to the underground level of Milan’s Central Station. There, they were crammed into cattle cars and deported. Within days, this transport reached Auschwitz, where most of its passengers would be murdered.

Between December 1943 and February 1945, a total of 20 deportation convoys left Milan: 12 carrying only Jews, 5 transporting political opponents, and 3 mixed transports.

Milan’s Central Station, inaugurated in 1931, was designed with two levels: the upper floor for civilian train departures and arrivals, and the lower floor for postal and freight handling. From this underground area — originally meant for packages, livestock, and goods — human beings were forced into freight wagons and sent to camps in Italy (Bolzano and Fossoli), Germany (Mauthausen and Bergen-Belsen), and Poland (Auschwitz).

What was once a place of travel became a site of tragedy, forever marked by the memory of those who departed on trains that never brought them home.

On December 16, 1942, Heinrich Himmler issued the “Auschwitz Decree,” which ordered the internment of the Roma and Sinti populations living within the territories of the Reich into the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp.

This decree marked the beginning of a systematic campaign of persecution and annihilation against the Romani people, often referred to as the Porajmos or “the Devouring.” Families were deported, children torn from their homes, and entire communities transported to Auschwitz, where many perished through starvation, forced labor, disease, and mass murder in the gas chambers.

The Auschwitz Decree stands as a chilling reminder that the Holocaust targeted not only the Jewish people, but also the Roma and Sinti, along with other marginalized groups. Their suffering and destruction are an inseparable part of Holocaust history, and their memory must be preserved with equal weight and dignity.
