    Kvinnor, barn och gamla väntar i en skogsdunge 100 meter från en av gaskamrarna i förintelselägret Auschwitz-Birkenau. De väntar på att klä av sig. Därefter ska de gå in i det rum där de gasas ihjäl för att sedan kremeras i ugnarna i samma byggnad. … om detta må ni berätta … berätta ni må detta … om Människorna på bilden är judar som kommit med tåg från Ungern till Auschwitz i månadsskiftet maj – juni 1944. Bilden är hämtad från ett album som beskriver vad som hände de fångar som anlände till lägret. Bilden från skogsdungen fi nns under rubriken »Ej längre användbara kvinnor och barn«. … om detta må ni berätta … Skogsdungen fi nns där än i dag. Det enda som fi nns kvar av människorna är denna bild. STÉPHANE BRUCHFELD OCH PAUL A.
