Auschwitz - To the Death Barracks

Auschwitz - To the Death Barracks
This image, which is maintained by the German Federal Archives, depicts an elderly woman and three children
who are being sent to the “death barracks” at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The picture, according to the Archives, was taken sometime in May of 1944.
Bearing identification number 183-74237-004, the photo has a description, written in German. Here is its
English translation:
Auschwitz -Birkenau, Old Woman and Children
Central Picture / Repro , 28.06.1960 Documentary photographs of the crimes of Eichmann,
murderer of Jews.
Eichman, murderer of Jews, has been responsible for, and played a leading role in, contracting the
Jewish population in ghettos in the territory of Czechoslovakia and for the transport of countless
Jewish men, women and children of different nationalities to the death camps, such as Auschwitz Birkenau.
The documentary photos belong to a number of recordings which were made by a native of North
Bohemia, SS man Bernhard WALTER with Eichmann's approval in Auschwitz [the "Auschwitz Album"].
Fascist criminals, of Eichmann’s caliber, did not even stop for the elderly and children. Here
children and an elderly woman [most likely from Hungary] are on the way to the death barracks
(Auschwitz -Birkenau).
