Sonderkommando

Auschwitz Only following orders Pushing corpses into the oven Living now my only thought Survival keeping my uniform clean I only did what I was told Loading bodies of the dead Once bold soul now weak bought n sold Auschwitz Only following orders Sonderkommandos were work units of Nazi death camp prisoners, composed almost entirely of Jews, who were forced, on threat of their own deaths, to aid with the disposal of gas chamber.

It's sickening! It's hard to put yourself in their shoes. May Jesus come soon to rid this world of such inhumanity.
