Eighty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, most people tend to relate it to gas cameras and the elimination of more than one million human beings in that field, the vast majority of them Jews, to represent the holocaust. It seems logical, although there is a concept error in that reflection. The key is to think of before Auschwitz, in much earlier, because there is always an origin that is the one that begins the long and tortuous path that culminates where the life of a person is no longer worth anything.
The Auschwitz Museum, the Guardian of the Memory of the Extermination Field, has explained it on more than one occasion. He has repeated it these days: “Auschwitz was the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start with gas cameras. That hatred was gradually developed by human beings. It began with ideas, words, stereotypes and prejudices through legal exclusion, dehumanization and growing violence … to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took his time. ”
