Auschwitz Album: a book based upon an album discovered by a concentration camp survivor, Lily Meier

Photographic evidence of the death camps in operation is very rare, the Nazis having forbidden the photographing of prisoners and facilities. Nevertheless, sometime toward the end of May 1944, a photographer took a series of pictures of the arrival of a transport of Carpathian Jews at Auschwitz. Assembled into an album and hidden under a pillow, they were discovered at the Dora concentration camp, by Lili Jacob Meier, as it was being liberated.
