The salute was later changed after the Nazi Party appropriated the salute into the similar "Heil Hitler" salute. The Nazi version of the Bellamy Salute featured a hand turned downwards, signifying that the Nazi Party held their flag (and their leader) above all else.

The Nazi Party attempted to appropriate the Star of David, using it to label Jews and to make it simpler to single them out for persecution. After World War II, however, the symbol came to represent martyrdom, bravery, and heroism.

I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika.

Rudolf Hoss, Auschwitz's first commandant, testified at the Nuremburg Trials that over 3 million were killed in Auschwitz (2.5 million from gassing, 500,000 from disease and starvation), a figure that was since revised to 1.3 million.
It was possible for the camp to gas over 20,000 people in a day, and from April to July 1944, at least 12,000 Jews were killed every single day in the gas chambers.
15 Auschwitz Auschwitz was comprised of three camps:
Auschwitz I: the administrative center
Auschwitz II Birkenau: the extermination camp
Auschwitz III Monowitz the labor camp

17 Auschwitz
The prisoners were forced to wake up every day at 4:30 AM, work for twelve hours (with no rest or breaks), and then given far too small rations of bread and water to eat for the day.
18 The Camp Doctors Dr. Karl Brandt: Euthanized old or sick prisoners. "They are useless eaters and a burden to the German War Machine.
Dr. Carl Clauberg: Conducted experiments with pressure chambers, freezing prisoners to death, and sterilization.
Dr. Joseph Mengele: "The Angel of Death" Conducted experiments on twins
19 Gustave Gilbert on Rudolf Hoss: In all of the discussions, Höss is quite matteroffact and apathetic, shows some belated interest in the enormity of his crime, but gives the impression that it never would have occurred to him if somebody hadn't asked him. There is too much apathy to leave any suggestion of remorse and even the prospect of hanging does not unduly stress him. One gets the general impression of a man who is intellectually normal, but with the schizoid apathy, insensitivity and lack of empathy that could hardly be more extreme in a frank psychotic.
