Candid Photos From Auschwitz on Display in Rome

Article from NY Times

Karl Höcker, adjutant to the commandant of Auschwitz, and SS auxiliaries relaxing at a recreation lodge near the camp.

Visiting the exhibit last month, the Nobel prize winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, spoke of the importance of such displays. “People who listen to the witnesses become witnesses themselves,” he said.

The Vittoriano is open from Monday to Thursday, 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Friday to Sunday, 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Jack and Charlotte both very intrigued by this period of history, might be a good exhibit for them to see.
