Tarnow: An Auschwitz Memorial for Poles
Walking through Tarnow we came upon this Auschwitz Memorial.
On June 14th 1940 a group of 228 Polish civilians (including 20 Jews) were brought to Auschwitz from Tarnow. This is considered the date Auschwitz "opened".
The triangle with the P was the sign they had on their prisoners' uniform in Auschwitz.
Out of these 728 persons, 200 survived.
