- Pit at Auschwitz
- One of the cremation pits used
to burn the victims of the gas chambers in Auschwitz. Used mainly in the summer
of 1944 when extermination was going so fast that the furnaces couldn't handle
the number of corpses. The photo was taken by a member of the camp's resistance (a
member of a sonderkommando). This is one of only two images of
Auschwitz taken by prisoners known to exist.
