    Auschwitz the 'camp of horrors' is now a museum where hundreds of people come from all over to remember those who suffered.: by bgraves, Views[425]
         		 Prisoners were sent to Auschwitz by rail before a Nazi 'doctor' assessed every person as to whether they were fit to work or not. Those deemed unfit were never told they faced death.: by bgraves, Views[511]
         		 1.1 million jews, homosexuals, gypsies and asocials were murdered in gas chambers like this one between the years of 1940-1945.: by bgraves, Views[994]
         		 Great sense of humor of the shop owner: by ommy, Views[270]
         		 Normal people in Piotrkowska street: by ommy, Views[975]

         		 Former Jewish Ghetto – Warsaw, Poland. Exhibition in the Warsaw Rising Museum. Looking back on the past. Scene from occupied Warsaw. : by a_m, Views[573]
         		 Former Jewish Ghetto – Warsaw, Poland. (Human) Life took up its course again in Warsaw’s former Jewish ghetto. Very few buildings dating back to the prewar period are still standing in the former ghetto. Even less are inhabited. : by a_m, Views[939]
     
    Majdanek – Lublin, Poland. (Vegetal) Life took up its course again in the concentration camp of Majdanek in Eastern Poland. : by a_m, Views[808]
         		 Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp I, Oświęcim, Poland. By some fate of the calendar, I visited Auschwitz on a grey rainy day – as if the place was not depressing and emotional enough… : by a_m, Views[945]
         		 Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp II, Oświęcim, Poland. How do we represent death and absence? Is it even possible? Should we try or resign ourselves to our inability to photograph what is no longer here? Visiting the camps in Poland stirred up contradictory feelings in me. The fact that none of my family had perished in the camps made me feel like an intruder there, on the other hand though, I also felt a duty to bear witness. My position behind the barbed wire represents my attempt at bearing witness to the Holocaust while acknowledging my position as an outsider. It is not easy to document the lives of people; it is even harder to document their absence. This is a (hi)story of absence that I tried to tell through this series. : by a_m, Views[720]

         		 Flowers, folklore and kid Easter: by po-polsku, Views[331]
         		 It's over. The village is quiet again. The life goes on.: by amused, Views[355]
         		 Observing - an important element of villagers' lives. As a kid I took my first black and white photos in this very village. The Corpus Christi holiday presented here was the last big event I participated in before my mum moved out of the village - when I changed the photos into B&W I realised that some things haven't really changed over the years.: by amused, Views[308]

         		 Walking, participating, praying, talking, living, experiencing.: by amused, Views[351]
         		 Waiting... the Corpus Cristi procession is about to begin. For every small Polish village, a religious holiday is an important event.: by amused, Views[353]
         		 Rooftops of the main square in Old Town. If you raise your gaze from the cobblestones, you might just find yourself feeling more high-spirited. : by kateness, Views[261]
         		 Not even a tourist would most likely find the Old Town's cobblestones quite as interesting. A child stops to examine the shapes in the street as those older and more experienced rush on past. A woman appears to stop and watch--the mother? A bystander? The question is if she will find beauty now that she's begun to look. : by kateness, Views[280]
     
    Those who prefer some solitude travel to the outer streets of the Old Town, where a nearby park offers wide open space and streaming sunlight. Some faces beg to be asked their story, but remain as silent as the cobblestones they walked when they were young. : by kateness, Views[313]
         		 Many tourists explore the main square of the Old Town, but scattered amongst them are unassuming, yet unmistakeable faces who have seen these buildings many times.: by kateness, Views[264]
         		 Warsaw's Stare Miasto (
         		 Between the buildings that used to house Nazi administrators and soldiers, a security guard is hit by a stroke of sunlight. He stands on the alley all of the prisoners had to pass before they were counted every day. Many of them for the last time before they were shot.: by auschwitz, Views[577]
         		 On entering the barracks where the prisoners were put, you realize how huddled and inhumane the living conditions really were. This bunk of just over two square meters was once the home of entire families, if they were lucky enough to stay together.: by auschwitz, Views[503]
     
    Inside, tourists wander around the gigantic open space, unsure how to behave on the ground that stood witness to history’s biggest genocide.: by auschwitz, Views[539]
         		 The famous gate threatens to swallow whatever approaches on the train tracks leading up to it. These were specifically built to bring deportees directly into the gated site.: by auschwitz, Views[512]
         		 In Oświęcim, Poland, barbed wire separates arriving visitors from the vast area of the former concentration camp.: by auschwitz, Views[501]

    9 am. They have already started preparing for lunch. This isn't the only spot where they have huge pots for cooking. Pots like these are everywhere around the city. And this food is distributed among the people for free. It's distributed and given out and forced into peoples hands. I was so surprised that people were this generous in a poverty-stricken country like Iraq.: by sakinarawr, Views[347]
