Carried on from Part 1:

We then saw the building where the prisoners slept, totally horrible living conditions which they were made to sleep in. There were about 700 prisoners, and about 4-5 to a bunk level.

...

One of the main gas chambers the SS destroyed to hide evidence to the advancing Red Army.
...

And finally, a memorial note.
...
