Description
The prisoners in the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau saw stripes in the sky in August 1944, as Allied bombers flew over their camp. After having destroyed a nearby industrial target, the bombers returned home, leaving the prisoners--including Gerhard Durlacher--to wonder why the camp's gas chambers and crematoria had not been bombed as well.
