“BERLIN - AUGUST 27: Original construction plans of the Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau death camps lie on a table shortly before the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu at the Axel Springer publishing house on August 27, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. Bild newspaper head Kai Diekmann presented the plans as a gift for the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. Axel Springer claims to have bought the plans from a private individual, though the plans likely originate from the former archives of the Stasi, the communist-era East German secret police. Auschwitz-Birkenau, outfitted with gas chambers and crematorium, was designed specifically for the mass extermination of Jews during the Holocaust. ” DayLife.com
