Dead hope in Auschwitz

On January 27th 1945 concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland was liberated, where at least 1.1 million people were killed. And I remember summer of 2019, when I found a dead swallow in the women's barracks at these death camp.

In many cultures, a swallow is a symbol of hope. What if the bird is dead? Perhaps it symbolizes the dead hope of the victims? Or maybe it was the soul of the dead, as dead swallows were called in ancient Greece?
