The exhibition offers new perspectives on the Auschwitz Album, a photographic collection produced by the SS to document the effectiveness of extermination at Auschwitz-Birkenau. These images, emblematic of the Holocaust, were used as evidence in the trials of Nazi leaders. Since their rediscovery in the 1980s, thanks to the work of historian Tal Bruttmann, a new reading of the images has made it possible to pinpoint what the perpetrators were trying to conceal. The exhibition reveals the scale of the extermination process, the violence, the cynicism of the organizers, and the resistance of the victims, while highlighting the flaws in the supposedly secret system. The album bears witness to the climax of the extermination, notably the deportation of Jews from Hungary in 1944.fr
