Visual Evidence of the Process of Mass Murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The Auschwitz Album is the only surviving visual evidence of the process of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is a unique document and was donated to Yad Vashem by Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier. This is for anyone out there who has been taught that the Holocaust never happened and is just a "myth". The photos were taken at the end of May or beginning of June 1944, either by Ernst Hofmann or by Bernhard Walter, two SS men whose task was to take ID photos and fingerprints of the inmates (not of the Jews who were sent directly to the gas chambers). The photos show the arrival of Hungarian Jews from Carpatho-Ruthenia. Many of them came from the Berehov Ghetto, which itself was a collecting point for Jews from several other small towns. http://www1.yadvashem.org/exhibitions/album_auschwitz/home_auschwitz_album.html When General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps, he ordered all possible photographs to be taken. He said something like "Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some b@stard will get up and say that this never happened." "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmond Burke
