Published to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, this text is a photographic testimony by the Magnum photographer, Erich Hartmann. It captures the sites of over 30 former Nazi concentration camps as they exist today, such as Buchenwald near Weimar, Auschwitz in Poland and Theresienstadt in the Czech Republic. They are quiet, empty and derelict, their stillness accentuating the sense of desolation they share, and some will soon become museums, less palpable reminders of their horrific past. This collection of photographs by Hartmann, an exile from Germany in 1938, is intended to pay silent homage to the countless victims who died in the camps.
