Auschwitz-Birkenau Photo Album of Hungarian Jews Arriving May 1944

This album memorializes the arrival of Hungarian Jews (from the
Carpathian-Ruthenia area) to Auschwitz in May of 1944.   It is the only one
of its kind, and it is  due to this album that we have a visual history of
what occurred in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
 
The album was discovered after the war by an Auschwitz survivor, Lily Jacob,
who donated it to Yad Vashem in 1980 and it was put on line in 2009.
