Auschwitz's Death Wall: How the Nazis shot thousands of inmates in front of structure -

It was a truly powerful sight: the Polish pope who had grown up under Nazi occupation kneeling in prayer at Auschwitz's Death Wall. There, in June 1979, John Paul II asked God for peace during his visit to what had been the centre of the Nazis' horrifying killing machine. Today, on the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz' liberation, survivors and relatives of victims also prayed and left floral tributes at the Death Wall, as it has become known. Although what stands today is a reconstruction - the original was dismantled by the Nazis in 1944 - the wall is a poignant symbol of the crimes that took place at the camp in occupied Poland . Between 1941 and 1944, thousands of people - mostly Polish political prisoners but also Jews and Soviet prisoners of war - who had been condemned to die were lined up in front of the wall and shot. Nearby was Block 10, where twisted doctors - including the notorious Josef Mengele - performed horrifying experiments on selected men, women and children. John Paul II's visit was followed by both of his immediate successors. Pope Benedict came in 2006, whilst Pope Francis made the trip in 2016.
