Descrizione
William Karel recounts life in Auschwitz in 1944 through two recently discovered photo albums.
One album was found by camp survivor Lili Jacob, which relates to the arrival of a convoy of Hungarian Jews in Auschwitz in May 1944. The pictures show the few hours preceding the murder of most of them in the gas chambers. The other album was recovered in 2007 and contains photographs, also from May 1944, that depict the moments of leisure that the SS officers responsible for Auschwitz enjoyed together in the vicinity of the camp.
