Selection on the ramp atAuschwitz II–Birkenau from theAuschwitz Album, aphotographic record of the Holocaust duringWorld War II. It and theSonderkommando photographs are among the small number of visual documents that show the operations of Auschwitz II–Birkenau, the Germanextermination camp inoccupied Poland. Originally titled "Resettlement of the Jews from Hungary" (Umsiedlung der Juden aus Ungarn), it shows a period when the Nazis accelerated their deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz. The images were taken by photographers from the camp'sErkennungsdienst ("identification service"). Among other things, the Erkennungsdienst was responsible for fingerprinting and taking photo IDs of prisoners who had not been selected for extermination. The identity of the photographers is uncertain, but it is thought to have been Bernhard Walter or Ernst Hoffmann, twoSS men who were director and deputy director of the Erkennungsdienst. The camp's director,Rudolf Höss, also may have taken several of the photographs himself. Photograph credit: UnknownAuschwitz Erkennungsdienst photographer; restored byYann Forget Recently featured: |
