"On Auschwitz" (53): Registration documents of Auschwitz prisoners

Upon admission to the camp, prisoners underwent a registration process, during which various documents related to the individual were filled out. Dr. Wojciech Płosa, head of the Auschwitz Museum Archives, talks about the details of this process. We wish to thank Toon Dressen for recording the English voiceover.
