Auschwitz. A History in Photographs

The history of the Auschwitz concentration camp in documentary photographs: pictures of the construction and demolition of non-extant or partially extant buildings, the photographs of the extermination of the Jews in Birkenau (taken by the SS  men and illegally by Sonderkommando prisoners).

The Allied aerial reconnaissance photographs taken during bombing raids, the photographs of the camp immediately after its liberation, and the photographs of the current state of the camp. The strength and informational value of the album lies in its documentary force.
