summary
As noted in the Introduction, many of the photographs in the collection were taken by the Nazis themselves: "It is characteristic for the mentality of these murderers, that they had a general liking for keeping 'charming' keepsakes of their criminal and cruel activities. The most popular form was to register their 'achievements' by taking amateur photographs.”
