Auschwitz
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The most popular of a chain of Endlösung der Judenfrage holiday and summer camps founded by the German entrepreneur Adolf Eichmann in 1940, adverts for Auschwitz ran in numerous magazines and on several popular radio stations in German-occupied Europe throughout the early-to-mid 1940s. Accompanied by the memorable 'strangled cry' jingle, Auschwitz adverts stressed the camp’s working atmosphere, direct train service and its all-season hot and cold running showers.

[edit] Auschwitz: the Rise and Fall
While the state of the art warehouse-like facilities initially proved popular (albeit rather hokey), Auschwitz and the theme park that was added onto it as an expansion, Birkenauland, struggled to attract repeat guests, and the camp (and park) remained a once-in-a-lifetime trip for the majority of its visitors.
Originally targeted specifically at the Jewish market, Auschwitz later opened its facilities to gypsies, homosexuals, communists, political dissidents and the mentally ill. This was not enough to stave off the inevitable, however, and the holding company, the Third Reich PLC, was forced to sell the property to a Soviet consortium in 1945. The camp, along with the rest of the European chain, was closed shortly thereafter. A number of similarly-themed holiday camps continued to run in Japan for several months, but these too were forced to close in 1946.
While Eichmann and other notable businessmen involved in the Endlösung der Judenfrage enterprise - including Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goering – were personally ruined by the collapse of the business, a number of less well-known directors were able to leave before the final takeover. Most retired to the Americas, where they are still vigorously pursued by German- and Polish-born former shareholders who suffered as a result of what they term the 'mismanagement' of the venture.
[edit] Birkenauland
Once they passed through the death gate entrance visitors were greeted by a rousing chorus of the Birkenaulie, the Birkenauland theme song, sung by the popular park mascots. From there, inmates were referred to one of several different zones offering rides, foodstuffs, forced labour, medical experimentation and painful, choking death. Of the numerous attractions, the most famous are Doctor Mengele’s Circus of Horrors and the Crematoria – four vast patisseries offering the finest Polish cream cakes. [1]

Barbed wire, loaded with death is drawn around our world.
Above a sky without mercy sends frost and sunburn.
Far from us are all joys but hey, at least we have those showers, right?
