Birkenau Crematorium: where the corpses were burned
One of only three photographs ever taken by
prisoners at Birkenau and successfully smuggled out. This was taken in 1944 by a camp inmate assigned
to one of the special prisoner teams (sonderkommando) who were forced to work in the gas chamber/crematoria.
This photo shows prisoners burning naked corpses freshly removed from the gassing facility at Crematorium-V.
These "burning pits" were used mainly in the summer of 1944, when the extermination was going at such a rate
that the furnaces could not handle the number of corpses.
