Forced labor in a Siemens factory at an Auschwitz subcamp

Prisoners carrying out forced labor at the Siemens-Schuckertwerke AG factory in Bobrek, a subcamp of the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland. The factory made electrical components for motors. The Bobrek camp existed from late 1943 until its evacuation in mid-January 1945. This photograph was likely taken at some point in 1944.
