1 Hungarian Jews undergo a selection on the ramp at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Poland, May 1944.

2 Adolf Hitler greets Neville Chamberlain upon the British Prime Minister's arrival in Munich. Chamberlain pursued appeasement of Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. The Munich Agreement of September 30 rendered the Republic of Czechoslovakia defenseless when Chamberlain and the French Premier Edouard Deladier yielded to nearly all of Hitler's demands.

3 Matthew - Often the concentration camps and killing centers are the focus of how victims were murdered. It is important to establish the role of the Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units). Additionally, these units were comprised of police units from various countries other than Germany. Jewish partisans in Naliboki forest, near Novogrudok.

4 Jeff: In many instances, the term “concentration camp” becomes a catch all for the entirety of the camp system in the Nazi regime and the impression is that the majority of the camps had gas chambers and crematoria. By focusing on precision of language, we can help students (and others) understand that while there were many concentration camps, there were six extermination camps that focused on the annihilation of the Jewish population.

5 Karel - One of the groups that were perpetrators were teenagers in Hitler Youth that were influenced by the Nazi Regime. This photograph is part of the special exhibition entitled “Some Were Neighbors.” This photograph was chosen to demonstrate the variety of participants during the events of the Holocaust. It wasn’t just the Nazis and Jews. This included people from many walks of life - teachers, police, neighbors, businessmen, professors and many more.
