“Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away.” That’s the name of an exhibit currently on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, which powerfully documents the history of the death camp.

In January 1942, Nazi leaders met to plan the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” Auschwitz was to play a key role in that regard. At least 1.1-million people were murdered at the extermination camp, including nearly a million Jews. During the Holocaust, six-million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
