    The five Christmases at the German Nazi #Auschwitz camp were full of tragic events. Nevertheless, despite the risk of punishments, prisoners observed Christmas⁠⁠ Eve. People who experienced the hell of Auschwitz will always remember those events. http://auschwitz.org/en/museum/news/christmas-eve-in-auschwitz-as-recalled-by-polish-prisoners,47.html …pic.twitter.com/IAgeatauYV

        I'm curious . Christmas of course is not Jewish holiday. Most prisoners in Auschwitz I assume would be Jewish. So why would they observe Christmas. There were of course Catholic Poles there but I think that would be the only large group to observe Christmas.

        In December 1940 vast majority of prisoners were Polish Christians. You need to remember that Auschwitz was created by Nazi Germans to destroy Polish leadership and resistance. While there were Polish Jews in the camp there too, mass transports of Jews began in March 1942.

        Thank you for making this clear to everyone insterested. Few people know that 9 out of 10 Polish citizens killed before 1942 were non-Jewish. These proportions reversed only after the Wannsee conference. I often quote this tweet of yours in this regard:https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/959476221095620608 …

        Auschwitz was created by German Nazis in spring 1940 for members of Polish leadership, intelligentsia and resistance. It became a center of mass extermination of Jews almost two years later.

        I am gonna go out on a limb and suggest that the vast majority of the prisoners DIDN’T “celebrate Christmas Eve” as it was a meaningless day in their lives......

        Auschwitz was created by Nazi Germans in 1940 to destroy Polish leadership and resistance. Until fall 1941 most of the prisoners were Poles, mainly Christians. Mass transports of Jews began in March 1942. Among 400,000 registered prisoners Jews were around 50 percent.

        Możecie powiedzieć dlaczego nie zaprosiliscie rodziny Witolda Pileckiego oraz uprawiacie antypolską propagandę? W obozie ginęli głównie Polacy! Czemu o tym nie piszecie?

        I gather this is some rightwing campaign in Poland and you have never visited Auschwitz. I was there this summer and both the guide and the written information are very clear about Polish doctors, police, soldiers , politicians and others that were murdered.

        The question still stands. Why Pilecki’s children have not been invited to commemoration of the anniversary of camp’s liberation ? Officially because of “limited places”. And one of the guests was Rainer Höss, the grandson of Rudolf Höss -German Nazi commandant of the camp.

        Politicians will unfortunately stoop to the very lowest acts if it's in their interests, i.e. re-election, courting a paticular clique etc.
