Arrival at Auschwitz

A photograph of Jews from Hungary who have just arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center in 1944. They are disembarking 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).
