” Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz in Poland.”
And “Nazis” weren’t aliens from space, but people of German nationality. Concentration camps in Poland were established by Germans, who adopted Nazi ideology (like almost all Germans in these times).
How can you not be moved by the story of his life. A modern example of sainthood.

It was not a Nazi camp – Nazi means a political party or movement or philosophy. The death concentration camp in Auschwitz was establishment during IIWW by the German Republic who was ruled at that time by the German Nazis.
