This Day in the History of Evil Beginnings
On this day in 1942, the first train load of Jews scheduled for culling to either murder or slavery arrived at the Auschwitz and Birkenau Concentration Lagers. This was the real beginning of the Final Solution of the Jewish Question, decided at the Wannsee Conference, and organized by Adolf Eichmann. The train loads would arrive regularly for the next 34 months.
