Here, you can see the courtyard between two buildings. One building was used for the Cyclone B experiments (see other photo "Experiments"). At the far back stands the execution wall. The windows in the other building are covered because they didn't want the prisoners to see people being executed and become afraid. But as my tour guide mentioned, they could still hear the shots.
This area is quite beautiful, and well forested. The plants muffled the sounds of shots and screams.
Place where Germans were murdering prisoners that were too sick to work or simply not longer needed. Monument commemorizes gypsies killed in this place. Each stone cross is one identified person, mostly Poles killed there. This is just small part of this symbolic cemetary.
This spot was the first market of Montreal. Warehouses and docks surrounded it and merchants traded and sold goods. It also was the public execution space where people were hanged and killed. Apparently this was a very poplar attraction.
It was also the place where the 1701 treaty was signed with the Native American tribes. They had no written language so each tribe drew a symbol for their tribe. It is hard to see clearly but they range from Herons to peace pipes to lacrosse sticks and turtles. Much is made about this peace, probably in more rosy terms than in reality. It was one of the few treaties with Native Americans to have been honored and not broken. It was really a document of necessity since the French and the Native Americans were suffering horrible losses in continual tit-for-tat war with each other. The natives never officially ceded the lands that are now Canada (and here in the US) and they ultimately suffered terribly under colonial rule. As Americans we have no moral high ground either. The realities were that Europeans had more man and firepower and ultimately won the battles and force the Native Americans into submission. I often think what the world could have been if we had decided that this was their lands and we were visitors? IN the history of humanity no two civilizations ever met and shook hands and came to an equitable set of rules to live peacefully side by side. Ever since we roamed the planet as bands of familial units, whenever two met there was conflict as each was evolved to to view the other as a competitor for resources. As the tribe became bigger and more sophisticated the battles became larger and more destructive. Prior to the Europeans the Native Americans brutally fought one another constantly. Without judgement - this is just the way it was. And Europeans have little moral high ground here because even in the 1800s public executions still occurred to great fanfare and crowds in Europe. The so-called "savages" were no different. The Native peoples may have been able to fight back but after the Spanish came to South America and the Caribbean bringing diseases, to which the native peoples had no immunity, with them. Microbes don't respect boundaries and diseases seemed to have spread far into the American interior wiping out untold numbers of people leaving many of the places where Europeans would land..completely abandoned. Again imagine if history just once wasn't run by greedy supremacist people and people actually respected one another. I can dream I guess.

A wonderful execution to me is a pretty gruesome but scary photo. The beautiful colors and wallpaper, misguide you to what really is the concept of this photo. look closer... someone is about to be executed!
