Three photographs from the Bergen-Belsen camp, one shows prisoners who arrived in Bergen-Belsen from Stalag II B - The many months they were kept in conditions of extreme starvation can be seen on their horrifyingly thin bodies. In two others are seen: bodies of children in Bergen-Belsen, as well as the body of a prisoner who perished.
Two photographs from Dachau and Mauthausen: Allied soldiers bury the body of a prisoner who died in Dachau, a prisoner found shot in the head in the Mauthausen camp - taken by the SS in the summer of 1943, and printed as a postcard at the end of the war.
