DOCUMENTARY - NAZI SCRAPBOOKS FROM HELL

Documentary Overview

The death camp at Auschwitz was considered ground zero for the killings during the Holocaust, a place where thousands were starved and 1.1 million died, but there are only a small number of known photos of the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp.

Enjoying a Picnic. Relaxing on a sun deck. Eating blueberries. Flirting.

These are the everyday moments captured in the photos come from the album of SS officer Karl Höecker, the adjutant to the commandant at the Auschwitz concentration camp. They were taken between June and December of 1944 – when the camp’s gas chambers were running at full tilt and crematoriums broke down from overuse during the mass extermination of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews.
