Auschwitz (2)

Untitled (Auschwitz 2), hand-cut paper, 4 layers, 30.5x18 inches,
2 panels (left panel 22x18 inches, right panel 8.5x 18 inches), 2012

This is another piece based on a photograph that I took at Auschwitz. The panel in this room reads as follows: The police prisoners (polizeihaftung) who were to be judged by the summary court, were put on the ground floor of barrack 11. They were not the inmates of the camp but of gestapo from Katowice, the victims of Nazi terror in occupied Poland. Most frequently they were sentenced to death, rarely to be put in KL Auschwitz.
