Auschwitz-Birkenau is more than a museum; it is the final resting place of over a million people. This documentary explores the priceless evidence preserved in the "death factory," from heaps of glasses to the intertwined locks of hair belonging to lovers Mala and Edek. We uncover the secret sabotage behind the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign, the miraculous discovery of the Auschwitz Album, and the defiance of "Teddy," the prisoner who boxed for his life.
