a. lost dreams

b. lost goods

c. lost lives

d. lost luggage

Answer:

C. Lost Lives

Step-by-step explanation:

The grounds of Auschwitz contains a museum of relics where evidence of the Nazi crimes against humanity is preserved behind a wall of glass.

In it is a case filled with empty Zyklon B cans which serves as a reminder of the poisonous gas used by the Nazis soldiers for killing prisoners on a massive scale.

The suitcases, serves as reminder of the unsuspecting Jews who had been told they would be resettled in Eastern Europe, but were murdered en mass, with their most treasured possessions packed into suitcases.

Also, baby clothes serves as reminder to the death camp's smallest victims wore children were killed immediately on arrival, as well as their young mothers

The heap of shoes tells a story of how human being who once lived and wore various shoes; poor shoes, dancing shoes, children's shoes, were murded.

Hence, It symbolizes sad evidence of Nazi war crimes on humanity.
