Thank you

Answer 1

As others have mentioned, Canada meant abundance to the prisoners. However a picture of the remnant really brings the horror of this place home.
May no free country ever stand idle and allow this tragedy to happen to another group of people.

Answer 2

Shoes, clothes, and other prisoner belongings, were stored in these areas which would be shipped back to Germany for use there. The storage warehouses at Auschwitz-Birkenau, located near two of the crematoria, were called "Canada," because the Poles regarded that country as a place of great riches.

It was the place where the goods stolen from the deportees were kept before being sent to Germany.

Answer 5

The place was nicknamed "Canada" because it was a place of abundance. Survivors who worked in Canada described mountains of trunks, of blankets, of pots and pans, of clothing and hundreds of prams. Prisoners who were assigned to Canada could forage food from the booty and were allowed to wear regular civilian clothes.
