I’ve often wondered if it wasn’t indecent to photograph chilling scenes like the camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The visit is led by exceptional guides who explain the where, how and who for hour and hours, along the barracks, barbed wire and horror.
These people have known survivors, or are even their family members. But in several generations their stories will become distant testimonies. Will the place still be present?
These photographs are my way of showing the inhumanity of the place.
