The Auschwitz Album: Stunning

This Album memorializes the arrival of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz in May of 1944.

It is the only one of its kind, and it is solely due to this album that we have a visual history of what occurred in the Auschwitz-Birchenau death camp.

The album was discovered after the war by an Auschwitz survivor, Lily Jacob, who donated it to Yad Vashem in 1980.

Please pass this around, to help assure that people will continue to bear witness to this evil legacy.

    email rec’d

    Although I agree that the crime of the holocaust is never stressed enough – as a reminder of the most terrible thing that ever happened to mankind – I (again) couldn’t look at it. I always cry. I visited Auschwitz once and will NEVER go back there again.

    This is just unbearable to look at !

    I wish you all the luck though, with your purpose and drive.

    HW (I converted to Judaism, as a former catholic, and can praise myself lucky that my parents hid an anti-nazi scientist during the war).

    Keep up the good work !

I-WILL LET YOU IN TO SECRET, LILLY WAS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE, AND I’M IN ONE OF THOSE PICTURES, MY TRANSPORT ARRIVED THE SAME DAY, AND THE CREMATORIUM WAS OVER LOADED THAT THEY WERE THROWING BABIES INTO A FIRE AND THAT WAS A SMELL THAT I-CAN’T FORGET UNTIL TODAY.

    Thanks Ted,
    Words escape me to describe the Holocaust.The only thing that is adequate is that it is in-excusable to do something like this to other human beings.Of course you have to think of the drilling, energy companies and the quiet joint venture investers now making a fortune off of the natural gas and pertroleum drilling and production in IRAN while the Iranians build nuclear weopons to accomplish the same purpose except on a more massive and efficient scale.Are theese people calously greedy or just blatantly anti-semitic?I hasten to add, the Iranians make no bones about their intentions.We have more than enough advance warning;with several options at our desposal.

    A time when the world turned her back on a human race.

    For those who knew and did nothing to stop it, they are as guilty as those who committed the atrocities.

    This is history we cannot change but it should be a constant reminder to be sure it never happens again.

    Wake up world those in charge the president and mullahs of Iran along with Islamic terrorist threatens Israel.

    We, the world can’t sit idly by and say it’s not our concern.

    How do we want to be describe by historians?

    Worst of all, in the end how will G-d judge your actions.
