Halt! - winter behind the barbed wire

70 years ago, On the 27th of January 1945, the red army reached Auschwitz and entered into what was left inside. The date 27th of January has since then been a date to remember the holocaust.

 

Little has changed in the camp since then - you can still feel the bitter cold both from the weather and the purpose built architecture and surroundings which surrounds the place. This was shot inside Auschwitz I - the original camp with the infamous sign at the entrance. This however is the barber wire and guard-towers that you meet if you approach the walls of the camp.

 

You can see other shots from Poland in my Poland set.
