A large group of men, women, and children crowd together. Most are wearing heavy coats with Star of David patches on their lapels. A train car can be seen in the background.

A photograph of Jews from Hungary who have just arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center in 1944. They are standing in an area of Birkenau known as "the ramp" before undergoing the selection process. In the background is the freight train on which they had been transported to the camp in inhumane conditions.

This photograph is from the Auschwitz Album (also called the “Lili Jacob Album,” after the Holocaust survivor who found it).
