Poland Auschwitz (#2334)

Poland Auschwitz (#2334)
Photo of the selection process. Immediately after leaving the train the able-bodied were sent in one direction for slavery, others were immediately sent to the gas chambers.

As was noted during the tour, though many of the officers involved are clearly identifiable, few received any form of punishment.

Update, 7/16/2015: A news story in multiple sources indicates a German court has found one person guilty as an accessory to murder of Jews and have indicted another; both men are in their 90's.

Just "following orders", I guess--

My understanding was that not following orders meant being subject to punishment similar to the incarcerated, but it wasn't clear how many resisted orders. I've seen reference to resistance movements, but haven't found any sense of how large that was. Unfortunately, as we repeatedly see even in the U.S., once you begin to think of others as less 'human', it's easy to follow orders.
