Auschwitz

Auschwitz is concentration camp there were over 40 concentration camps 

that were built and operated by the Nazis and Germany that were occupied
during world war 2 it was called the holocaust. This summary is about a lady 

who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp and explains her journey 

through this horrific event her name is Kitty Hart Moxon.

Over one million people died through this horrible event in Auschwitz. 

Kitty was 17 when she arrived in Auschwitz. Auschwitz was a known as 

the factory of death and no one was intended to survive. Once Kitty arrived in 

Auschwitz she described the people as ghost like figures with bald scaly heads,

ripped clothes,big eyes and they all screamed different languages. It was one of
the largest camps out of 44 camps in Auschwitz.

In the concentration camps the prisoners had to work in any circumstances even 

if it might kill them or they were killed anyway. Kitty's job was to help build a new

rail line at the concentration camp. In the camp they had a ramp where some children 

and most elderly were sent directly to there death and some to do slave labor.

In Auschwitz ladies weren't allowed to keep their hair so they cut it off and shipped it to 

make ignition mechanisms in bombs and others things.

The sheds that they slept in were meant for only 52 horses but they forced 1000 prisoners 

to live there each bunker got 1 straw mattress 1 blanket if you were lucky and it was 

shared between eight prisoners at the camps. But the thing that most prisoners feared 

was selections because if they were selected they were sent to gas chambers to await 

their deaths. In 1944 five gas chambers were work at full capacity.

Kitty and her mother left Auschwitz on April 14th 1945 they went through 6 camps and 

witnessed several death marches. There was a place called lobsters water for most people 

that were in Auschwitz this was their final place.

30 members of Kitty's family were murdered by the Nazis including her Father and 

Grandmother. But her Mother Rosa Felix after she escaped lived most of her life in Birmingham,England where she died peacefully in 1974 at the age 84. Kitty Hart Moxon 

currently lives in England where she has two sons and eight grandchildren and she said 

that she is gonna continue telling her story.
