Press Reviews

  • “These photographs that have shaped perceptions of Auschwitz were taken by the perpetrators of the Holocaust… A new exhibition, Seeing Auschwitz, confronts this head-on.”

  • “The exhibition immerses guests into horrific atrocities committed by the Nazis throughout the Second World War, and reflects on the evil crimes on the victims within the notorious concentration camp.”

  • “The images, captured by perpetrators, victims and liberators, provide unsettling perspective and stark evidence of mass murder, but also show the humanity of the people who perished there.”

  • “The vast collection of images come from varying sources including aerial allied pictures of the camps, documentation of the deportation process and living within Auschwitz as well as insight into life before the camps.”

  • “It displays photographs, sketches and testimonials, some of which were used to bring SS camp guards and their superiors to justice, and urges us to take more than a superficial look at their crimes.”
