● 1 Read Zigi Shipper’s story in the article. Why do you think he is so grateful to the British people?
Of all the concentration camps where the appalling crimes of the Holocaust took place, the most notorious was near a town in Poland called O świȩcim, better known by its German name — Auschwitz. This article does not attempt to tell the full story of the camp (or rather camps, for there were two — the first, originally a Polish army barracks, and the later purpose-built one, known as Auschwitz-Birkenau). Instead, it looks at two of the victims who were brought to Auschwitz by the Nazis and considers why the Holocaust continues to be important in the twenty-first century.
