Culture & Tradition

The photographic exhibition Seeing Auschwitz presents over one hundred photographs taken between 1941 and 1944 inside the Nazi extermination camp: the images make up a reportage of extraordinary documentary power on the life and death of over one million prisoners.


The exhibition offers a threefold view of the largest extermination centre in history. On the one hand, there are photographs taken mostly by Nazi executioners, documenting the various stages of the process of eliminating deportees, from their arrival at the camp to the gas chambers. These are accompanied by some rare photographs taken clandestinely by prisoners, which convey the victims' point of view. The exhibition is completed by the view of the Allies, who flew over the area and filmed what was happening from above.
