Auschwitz guard names posted online

-

The names of about 9,000 – mostly German – Nazi SS commanders and guards who worked at the Auschwitz death camp have been posted online by Poland’s Institute of National Remembranc­e in a bid to prove that the camp was not Polish-run. The database – hailed as the most comprehens­ive to date – also includes guards’ places and dates of birth, nationalit­ies, military service and, where possible, photograph­s.
