Description
On December 13, 1942, Czeslawa Kwoka arrived in Auschwitz with her mother Katarzyna in a convoy of three hundred women from Zamosc, torn from their homes as a result of the Germanization of Polish territories. She is only fourteen years old.
This story, based on actual facts and testimony, casts a glimpse into the last months of Czeslawa Kwoka's life, whose story was able to come to us thanks to the archive of camp photos rescued by young photographer Wihelm Brasse. The incredible photo taken of the frightened young girl will remain in future memory of one of the darkest chapters of human consciousness.
"Prisoners from our block are being replaced more and more frequently by other Poles, Slovaks, Dutch, Italians or French. From one day to the next someone disappears, while new human cargoes land on the train ramp. From the infirmary it becomes increasingly rare to return, yet in the barracks we continue to grow in numbers. There are many rumors in the overcrowded block. They speak of a certain doctor, of experiments and sterilizations, but no one is surprised anymore by the constant turnover; we are just numbers, added or subtracted in the banal mathematics of horror."
