The "Kanada" barracks in the Auschwitz concentration camp, German-occupied Poland, during the Holocaust. Prisoners sort through the cases and bags of those who were sent to the gas chamber on arrival. The warehouses were named "Kanada" because they contained the looted belongings of prisoners and were regarded within the camp as the land of plenty.
