Artist's Comments

Taken in Birkenau, Poland.

Relics of suffering, relics of pain, relics of Holocaust.

During the Second World War there was a concentration camp (like in many other places in Poland and Germany). Nazis killed there an enormous number of people - Jewish, Polish and many others. Now there're two museums: Birkenau and Auschwitz. One of the most touching places I've ever seen. Everyone should visit it at least once.

Daily Deviation, 2008-03-30

Daily DeviationRelicts of suffering by *positively Some subjects need to be handled very delicately by photographers. In this shot we can see how the photographer has used minimal composition and effective depth of field to portray the barbarity of a Nazi Concentration Camp without making the image over sentimental. The photographer has used the Bared Wire to signify the horror of what has happened here. (Suggested by =Anoya and Featured by `Pete-B)
