West Coast debut of exhibition ‘Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away’ opens at Reagan Library on March 24.
Lenga witnessed the horror and mayhem for years: the hanging of Jews in the town center, naked bodies laying in the streets, victims buried in mass graves, and seeing a person one day — and then never again.Joe Alexander, who also lived in Poland, had 10 minutes to get to the town square with his family before being taken away to the camps. For the next six years he lived in 12 different camps, surviving them all and escaping death.
The freight cars, established by Nazi Germany across occupied Europe, were used to transport up to 80 people, along with their belongings, crammed like sardines into each car without food, water or facilities for what was often a several-day journey to a grim reality. Hundreds of personal items such as suitcases, eyeglasses and shoes that belonged to Auschwitz deportees will be on display along with concrete posts from a fence at the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, fragments of original prisoners’ barracks from the Auschwitz III-Monowitz Camp — and the desk and other possessions of the first, and the longest Auschwitz commandant, Rudolf Höss.
The West Coast debut of the 12,500 sq. ft. exhibition is the first of three final North American stops. It is twice the size of past special exhibits at the museum.
