Barracks | Auschwitz-Birkenau | Snugug Photography

The image is a black and white photo of a long, narrow hallway with brick walls and a cobblestone floor. The hallway is lined with narrow bunks on either side, each consisting of a simple wooden frame and a single, wooden shelf. The roof above is made of wood beams and has a large skylight at the far end. The light from the skylight casts a long, thin beam of light down the center of the hallway, illuminating the cobblestones. The walls are made of brick, and the light shining down the hallway casts shadows that highlight the texture of the brick. There is a small, rectangular window in the wall on the left side of the hallway, providing a glimpse of the outdoors. The photo is likely taken in a prison or concentration camp, the stark simplicity of the structure highlighting the harshness of life in such a place. — Barracks

The barracks that the Nazis kept prisoners in in Birkenau were tight, cold, and barely livable. That, of course, wasn't the point. Each barrack held over 700 people; in just the bunks in this picture, 144 people were meant to live.
