What an amazing sunlit image that you have taken as it is now....however the history behind this room is horrendous to say the least. Your words give this image a whole different meaning and perspective. Thank you for reminding us that these things happened, the human suffering so awful and unimaginable. The hope that this will never happen again.

This is so very well photographed with the emphasis on the dim light in the room coming in through the windows, it is a very sad image to view. Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented with a very well suited frame.

Probably the saddest time in history if you ask me.
What those people must have endured is beyond description.
Your photo offers a light of hope indeed... seeing out that window would have brought short lived hope, until they had to start their day once again.
I love how you shot this Annie. a truly skilled photograph that truly tells a story.

a great capture but my six stars are for your outstanding narrative; I visited Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau about 40 years ago: of course, everything is clean now and people cannot understand what really happened there; I spent 6 years in Israel 70 years ago, between the age of 10 and 16. two of my teachers were survivors from Auschwitz;

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Fred. You are right, it is very difficult to understand what happened in Auschwitz, but when I visited this Place in December 10 years ago, it was bitterly Cold. It was windy and snowing and I remember I tried to imagine how it would be in this camp With very little Food, thin clothes and no heating. It made an everlasting impression, and I feel that I understood more after that visit.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Dramatic interplay between light & shadows...
Great story telling factor even without human elements.
I like that crucifix formed by the window frame.
It adds to the overall impact of this simple setting...
A deafening silence...
Vanishing viewpoint lends a greater depth...
Excellent framing.

The history behind this image makes me want to stare at it and think about what a horrible place this truly was. It tells such a sad story. Your narrative was well written too. Thanks for the Aushwitz memorial on it's liberation anniversary.

A poignant and soul touching image Annie. This one touches the ultimate humanity of our being. Actually I have no words to describe the impact of this one.
The angle, lighting and leading lines say what words simply cannot.
This is a photo that belongs in a book telling about the Holocaust.
Actually I think that the Holocaust museum would be pleased to display a copy of this one Annie. It along with others photos says what words simply cannot express.
Great photo Annie ~ Steve

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Steve. I visited this Place in December 10 years ago, and it was a blizzard that they. I tried to imagine how the prisoners could survive these conditions With very little Food, thin clothes and no heating. Needless to say that day made an everlasting impression.

Hi Annie, My first impression of this was.. what am I suppose to see in this that makes it special? When you read the story behind it you see and feel more than you could even imagine. The situation is hopeless, but if I had been there the light would have represented "HOPE" to me no matter how small. I can't even imagine the pain both metal and physical placed on the prisoners of Auschwitz. Thank you for reminding of the way the world shouldn't be! Hugs :o) Nancy

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Nancy, and also for the 6 stars. It was very special to visit this Place 10 years ago in December, and I will never forget it.
Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Annie,
A simple but stark reminder of man's inhumanity to man... Not horrific but the bright light shining through the window lighting up the now tidy bed bunks on either side reminds us if we close our eyes of the unspeakable tourcer that happened during that War that occupied my parents & my early childhood for five long years leaving a long trail of distruction and ruined lives in it's wake. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with care and superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
