Auschwitz photos - terrifying Auschwitz images

What are the most shocking Auschwitz images one can see in the concentration camp? Well, it’s hard to tell as everything seems to be equally terrifying once you cross the entrance gate.

Auschwitz pictures – piles of terror

The exhibitions of several piles made of prisoners’ personal things are the objects of the biggest interest in museum. We can find millions of Auschwitz images showing these exhibits online. However, they are much more terrifying in reality. They can make you realize how many people died in Auschwitz being deprived of their dignity and shame.

Upon arrival to Auschwitz extermination camp, all inmates came up to selections. It entailed stripping all their belongings away by Nazi officers.  Then, all objects were moved to special buildings in the camp. After  Auschwitz  liberation  all  survived  objects were turned  into  these  amazing  exhibitions.  Here  are  some  Auschwitz  pictures  of  famous  showcases:

Barracks in Auschwitz photos

Auschwitz museum conservators did great job by reconstructing numerous prisoners’ barracks. Nowadays, we can see exactly how their interiors looked like. Here are some Auschwitz images of some prisoners’ wooden barracks in Birkenau. Although they are empty now, one can imagine crowds of hungry and crying people inside. In fact, such barracks were always a “home” for too many inmates (at least twice!). People were hustling in small bed bunks not being able to move without touching somebody else. Although Auschwitz images of the barrack may seem quite spacious, they aren’t. In reality, people were striving to survive in poor conditions without any sanitary, clean space or heating.

Auschwitz images – mass extermination

By deciding to visit Museum in Oswiecim be prepared for disturbing Auschwitz images, that’s for sure. Although everybody knows what happened there, it still shocks to see some original camp objects. For example, tools used to conduct mass extermination: Zyklon B cans, ruins of gas chambers, crematoria… Although Germans tried to destroy all evidences of their crimes, they didn’t manage to do that. The fact that they blew gas chambers up, did’t make us to forget about how many people they had killed. Jewish Holocaust photos are brutal. Unfortunately, they all are dreadful Auschwitz facts…

Historical ramp – most popular Auschwitz images

Thinking about Auschwitz many people imagine Auschwitz photos of its historical ramp that leads to the famous, bricky gate.  In fact, not everybody knows that it’s the main entrance to Birkenau, the second part of camp complex. The original fragment of long ramp often appears at different Auschwitz images. Beyond the gate, one can see endless rows or barracks and gas chambers ruins. There is also  the historical wagon on the other side of the gate. What makes it so special (and terrifying) is that it was originally used for transporting inmates into the camp. During such transports, prisoners had to survive many hours or days without food, water and space to move. Many of them died even before their arrival…

Fortunately, if such Auschwitz pictures or Holocaust photos appear online, they are immediately widely criticized, both by authorities and readers. It shows, that people won’t let such things to go echoless. Nevertheless, we should all remember that not every photo with our faces deserves likes on Facebook or Tweeter…
