My grandma was 3 years in there and allways tried to tell us when we were kids not to waste food and allways help others.We never fully understod her till later in life.
So many Czech's died along with the Jewish people. Hitler agenda was to wipe out Jewish people and Slav's were on the number 2 list
Till this day I have bitterness against the DEVIL AT WIRK.

Thank you for this very well done gallery of a hard to present subject.
joan 03-Nov-2006 10:40
I never thought that I would come across pictures that are so moving that it made me cry, I would not forget and let us not forget the human beings who died in unimaginable suffering.

Ebby [last post] who gave you the right to hate and to dismiss these pictures with your venom? What you see here is a shameful episode in mans history. If you admire beauty and brains, great writers and thinkers and people in general, if you admire justice, faith and the human spirit then weep with me [not scoff] at what these photographs tell us. Shame on you and shame on the whole of Germany for a 1000 years for allowing this to happen.

why don't you take important pictures

Andre:
Once again you have captured my undivided attention with your photographic work.
Yes what we see today in your photographs is but a mear glimps into HORROR, INSANITY
and above all the IGNORANCE of mankind. Those that have NEVER tasted WAR do not understand why WAR spelled backwards = RAW. War is RAW in every respect. Humanity does not prevale in war, just raw insanity and the will to survive by any means.

WAR will be the undoing of mankind in some future date, for you see my unaquainted friend, we continue to ignore the lessons of the past. Your photographic presentation
as set forth is well done and represnts how RAW mankind can be to his fellow man when he starts WAR!
WELL DONE Andre!

stunning work!
Guest 07-Nov-2005 13:26
This gallery gives the feeling of horror belongs to old days. Considering the owners of those shoes make you feel sorrow intensely. Very impressive photos...
richard 15-May-2005 08:12
well i would like to say that this site has provided me with a window into the past, i a high school student live in an area of ignorance. i recently read the novel night by elie wiesel in english, and i was surronded by kids that would say "why do we need to know this? it happened in like the eight-teen hundreds any way." well i was an exception to ignorance in case because i heard haunting story from my great grand mother when she was alive so i had an idea of what happened, but i would like to thank the owner of this web site because this horribly morbid history is not know to enough americans today, and if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it and i refuse to let that happen, once agian i cant thank you enough for posting such a site with such great pictures.
Salman Ahmed 11-May-2005 18:26
Powerful, chilling, and haunting... this is a tremendous gallery.
Pierre Rousseau 10-May-2005 13:11
Powerful photography, chilling but necessary. I hope all of you understand 60 years ago SOME Germans committed these atrocities. The Germans of today have nothing to be ashamed of. SOME Israeli's are partaking in atrocities today, but we cannot blame ALL Israeli's. Take into account that ideologies easily brainwash humans. The war in Iraq is a contemporary example. WW2 Japanese and Americans thought of each other as subhuman, because of unyielding cultural imperatives. As a consequence two nuclear bombs were dropped on innocent civilians.
Eyal Dor-Ofer 14-Mar-2005 09:27
Thank you. Very important gallery.
Guest 11-Mar-2005 05:29
It is horrific that this was allowed to happened and that so many people were murdered before it was stopped. It is the greatest crime against humanity and will forever scar the faces of germans.
Victor 28-Feb-2005 19:51
Terrible...Thak You for the very impressive images.We all must to remember and save it forever...
Oleg Chermoshniuk 27-Feb-2005 13:53
Very moverful images - I was moved by all of them. The B&W contribute to the overall mood of the pictures - mood that the photographer doesn't need to create in a place like this.
Gerhardt Politzski 09-Feb-2005 04:47
German ingenuity on the campaign; they always had an answer for everything - this was called 'The Final Solution' - but it was it was nothing at all without the help of the Poles.
stella 07-Feb-2005 21:26
These are very nicely taken and very powerful. I do, however, prefer the color images over the black and white ones. I get the sense that the black and white creates a distance between what happened at the camps and the world today. From my perspective, B&W makes it too easy for people to simply view this as 'history'
mark 07-Feb-2005 14:26
Auschwitz-Birkenau (Oswiecim-Brzezinka). THESE WERE GERMAN Concentration and Death Camps, not Polish. They were built in occupied Poland due to very good location for railway transports.
Jacky (Yaacov) Costi 01-Feb-2005 18:59
Powerful pictures. Thank you for sharing them.
Angel 17-Jan-2005 20:20
Very powerful images. Let us not forget
Guest 10-Jan-2005 09:05
A chilling look into one of history's most heartless atrocity. I think you captured the harrowing pain it must've been to be shipped off to one of these death camps.
guest 10-Jan-2005 03:27
Too painful to look at but necessary. I'm glad you posted them as I'll never go there. Too many relatives I never got to know. Never Again.

Dave Deacon 08-Jan-2005 06:55
Anyone denying this atrocity needs only to look at the same job which the Germans did in Namibia, South West Africa, around 1904. Indeed, the Namibian genocide seems to have 'inspired' Hitler to do this later atrocity. Here's a link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/3565938.stm

These things must NOT be forgotten - no matter how embarrassing to the Germans. We NEED to ensure it does not happen again. Galleries such as this will help ensure that. Thanks for publishing it.

I'm from Poland...i'm 23 years old but i was there...it's TRUE...it's OUR history...sad history...
Guest 26-Dec-2004 18:33
I have never been to Auschwitz, but about 10 years, my husband and I visited Dachau. It is a place I will never forget. One of the things that struck me was the smell of ashes still at the crematorium. It was a wet day and even 50 years later, that smell lingered. No one who has ever been to one of these places will ever doubt that the atrocities happened. Thank you for sharing your images in a place where many can view them, and learn from them.
Mike 09-Dec-2004 09:43
Very impressive and humbling. I had the opportunity to visit Auschwitz in november 2004 and have the pictures up on www.pbase.com/newmikey

Yours reflect how I felt much better than my own. What does surprise me is cellblock nr. 24. Without having seen your gallery I made almost an identical image. What is it that inspires us there?

The more people put there gallery up, the less people will forget about what happened here.

Thank you.
Mike

Thank you for showing us the images. History is I think still repeating itself.
David M. 03-Nov-2004 09:03
Thank you for this gallery
Guest 01-Nov-2004 03:23
Your choice of black and white for these was very fitting. Well done.

I'm a baby boomer living in NYC. I've learned about this, but these photographs have hurt my heart. Thank you for sharing these pictures which have opened up pain. My father was a soldier in WWII in the Canadian Army fighting along side of U.S. soldiers overseas. He suffered the agony of war. He passed away last year at age 76. He was my hero. I was born in 1948 after the war. I've heard the stories. Now I see more.
Erich Mangl 27-Oct-2004 01:39

I think it was hard to take these pictures.
Thank you Andre for your touching and very evocative witness
Mary Bowles 02-Oct-2004 17:48
Chilling images, well photographed. But, so moving. There should be more knowledge of the evils of the past. It must have been difficult. Well done Andre.
Lou Giroud 25-Sep-2004 09:36
Someone said one day : we can forgive, but we will never forget.
One should not live with the past and I think that what happens in the present times is as cruel and disgusting like what happened once and even before that period.
Willy Brand wrote in his memories to close the book : where is hunger, there is war.
The actual world has not learned out of history, the rich do not get enough and the poor multiplie again in our actual industrialized world and this pictures or similar ones risk hardly to become reality again, I would even say that some are allready.
This pictures you share here can be taken as one of the examples of a sad moment in humans history. One should show this to future generations and hope they will never live this, despite of the fact that many people on this planet still live similar situations at present times. Was this, what happened once, and is, what happens at the present, realy necessary ?

locais marcantes...
visitei-os por duas vezes e na ultima vez que lá estive foi precisamente no dia 11 de Setembro de 2001...jamais me esquecerei portanto!
Chippy 19-Sep-2004 16:48
Very moving. Having read all the history of this era,and never having a chance to go to Poland, I thank you for these.
chuck 17-Sep-2004 18:10
Having lost over three hundred relatives to the nazis I cannot help but be moved by these images..It is perhaps unfortunate that these pictures are not paired with earlier photos of actual daily life as it was lived at such places...the images convey a certain peacefulness(if this is the correct word)but such places were anything but peaceful.
Jon Gilbert 17-Sep-2004 10:00
Beautiful photographs of a terribly ugly place. Thank you for sharing these.

Good reportage and narration for these images Andre. Gets my vote easily and much more worthy than most of the other photo portfolios on this site. Thanks for sharing. - DC
Chuck Kuhn 12-Sep-2004 21:29
I visit here in 1988. I was into video and taped everything, including the movie introduction in cinema. Now that I'm into photography, I've wondered what my photo's would have said to the world. YOU captured it,,Thanks. If you get a chance rent the DVD called Night and Fog. Its a 1955 still life photo's of what you have pictured here..

Good choice of b/w to render the sobering history of this location. Never passed through this way, but I did go through the high/school cum internment camp in Phnom Penh. Couldn't even bring myself to take my camera out of the bag.
Gordon 10-Sep-2004 17:52

No one must ever forget the price they paid.
