I am submitting 5 images, which are part of a series of 33 panels about Auschwitz concentration camp. The five images are scenes that victims and perpetrators would have seen while at Auschwitz. Some of the pictures are photographs I took myself at Auschwitz, while others are originally black and white photos in the public domain.
I believe that people of today are starting to regard the images of the Holocaust as 'history' which could not happen today. By adding colour using digital manipulation, I believe I bring the images back into the present. This could happen again. I write this at the time that the Gaza-Israel conflict has started. I have heard both sides accusing the other of being 'animals'. That's how it started in Nazi Germany.
This image is of the interior of a gas chamber, where people scratch the walls trying to get out.
