Prisoners Identification Photos at Auschwitz I Concentration Camp in Poland

The Auschwitz concentration camps in Poland display the darkest side of the Holocaust. At its peak in 1944, they housed about 135,000 prisoners. Auschwitz I was the largest and responsible for 70,000 deaths. Each arriving prisoner was photographed in classic mug shot style. Many of these photos are displayed throughout the complex, along with their name and date of execution. The sense of sorrow is overwhelming.
