The Auschwitz Album

The Auschwitz Album is the only surviving visual evidence of the process leading to the mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is a unique document and was donated to Yad Vashem by Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier.

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 Berehovo Ghetto, which itself was a collecting point for Jews from several other small towns.

'The Auschwitz Album' was mentioned in passing in another thread and I felt it merited a thread of it's own. This album is touted a 'proof of the brutal hitlerite extermination of 6,000,000 of Europe's jews'. Feel free to look at it and judge for yourself. To me, this album shows nothing of the sort.

I've mentioned this several times over the years here. If you look at the pictures and DO NOT read the loaded and slanted captions and ask yourself what do I see in each case. You will not see death, mass murder, abuse or even nastiness.

Th Auschwitz Album is one more piece of evidence against the extermination claims at Auschwitz. The pictures contradict the smoking chimneys with fire coming out and the pyres.

The other thing I found interesting is that these pictures were taken at the height of the German war, they were doing well in most areas and thus along with their thousand year Reich thinking why would they take pictures of them in the process of killing all the jews and not take any of the actual death process. If they felt invincible they had nothing to worry about. The hole in this myth is big enough to drive several London buses through.

Whoever claimed the Album is proof of murder, is wrong. It is part of the corroborating evidence of mass transports arriving at Birkenau and the selection process.

Read the Yad Vashim article.

Children are told in school that this collection is 'proof' of the holocaust.

It wasn't bandied as such specifically on this site. It is presented as such in education however.
