Jewish women and children who have been selected for death at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center walk toward the gas chambers. This photograph is one of many taken in late spring/summer 1944 as SS photographers documented the arrival, selection, and registration of transports of Jews from Hungary at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
This photograph is from the Auschwitz Album (also called the “Lili Jacob Album,” after the Holocaust survivor who found it).
