| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes an execution site in Block 10 of Auschwitz, which was used for medical experiments on prisoners. He imagines himself standing in the position of the gunman, viewing the faces of those to be executed. Then, imagining himself in the position of those murdered, he sees the faces of the guards who executed them. |
