Since the beginning of the post-War period, the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum has preserved a collection of about 2400 family photographs. Only a few years ago was it possible to determine that some of the people represented were Jews from the ghettos in Sosnowiec and Będzin, most of whom died in KL Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943. The article discusses the manner of display of the collection. The rst part concerns two photographic albums, the second discusses the exhibition of photographs which the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum opened a few years ago in the building of the so-called “central sauna” near to the ruins of the gas chambers.
