Concentration Camp Message Found

On April 28th, ABC News reported that workers demolishing a wall of a building that was part of the Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp found a message written by prisoners 65-years ago.

It is known that at least two of the signees survived, but nothing is known of what happened to them after the war.

The message was in a bottle planted in the wall of a building of the State Higher Vocational School in the southern Poland town of Oswiesim that had served as a warehouse for the German guards. It was hand-written in pencil and had the names and camp ID numbers of seven prisoners including 4 Poles and a Frenchman from Lyon, all ages 18-20.

More than one million souls died at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

I'm Hoping Any Survivors Can Be Found. --Cooter
