الوصفGrey enamel plate used during World War II, most likely from Auschwitz concentration camp. The plate includes a bumblebee mark on the verso.
Auschwitz, built in the occupied Polish town of Oswiecim, became the site of the largest single mass murder in history. Initially used to incarcerate Polish political opponents and Russian POWs, the camp expanded during the war to encompass three major centres - Auschwitz I, Birkenau (Auschwitz II) and Buna Monowitz (Auschwitz III). In its four years of operation, approximately 1.3 million people were murdered at this site, of which 1.1 million were Jewish.
