The Darker Side of World War II

Auschwitz II-Birkenau main guard house

The level of human suffering in World War II was enormous. Some of the most notorious atrocities in modern history were carried out between 1939-1945, and the anguish of living with war devastated populations around the globe. The annihilation of humans through the holocaust and atomic weaponry, human medical experimentation by Nazi doctors, the torture of prisoners of war and displacement on a massive scale represent just part of the never-before seen scale of horror visited upon mankind during World War II.
