Suitcases of people sent to concentration camps located at the Poland, Gda?sk, World War II Museum.Putting the vast amount of death and destruction that devastated the Jewish people during World War II in perspective is nearly impossible. How does one even begin to fathom the kind of evil it takes to commit genocide? The suitcases on display at Poland's new Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk, Poland, try to put this indescribable evil in perspective and looking at it is like a kick in the gut.During World War II, Poland lost 17 percent of its population with the lives of millions of children lost in this horrendous display of terror. Each suitcase on display here belonged to Jewish prisoners of concentration camps, packed because they were told that they were going to an internment camp and not death.
