A flag on the unloading ramp in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

An Israeli girl at the beginning of the unloading ramp in Birkenau camp.

Very very powerful photo . Excellent

A picture full of symbolism. We visited the camps Auschwitz/Birkenau some 5 years ago on a rainy day. It made the impression of these camp^s still more oppresive. Even more than Auschwitz, the wide plane of Birkenau with all the baracks and the barbed wires made a deep impression

great image.. love it in b/w

Yes, a very powerful image. I'm glad that someone got this on film ... And I hope that you plan to get this image *out* beyond PN somehow.

Pawel, this is a very striking image. I agree with Lou Ann, I hope you do get this out beyond the PN world. Although I wouldn't have necessarily known what her surrounding were unless you mentioned it, I look at it now and imagine that wearing the Israel flag is both a sign of assertion and at the same time a form of protection.

The graphics are great!!!

Very nice photo, Pawel.

Pawel, it is a strong Symbolic image, for the people that know the history and understand that image Symbolism. I would have sent it and many of your posts from the camps to all the people( like the Iranian , crazy president that says the Holocaust did not occur,..) that know, and the ones that deny. I would like to add my folder to your work about that subject that I appreciate very much!I hope you don't mind Pawel, I think that what you do is very important !

Pawel, this is such a touching and an exciting moment you caught through your lens. Very well done! Einat

Please join us. I love the site and would like it to stay as a FAIR platform for ALL photographers to show their work. Diversity is wonderful for all of us. The problem here is that a selected few and among those only one category seems to dominates as of lately. The ratings system here tend to tilt toward those whose imagery is for an audience who seeks a cheap thrill by rating higher REGARDLESS of the quality or content of the image. That is simply not fair.

Excellent picture and very touching.

I can't write, & I think that's why I take the pictures, but I feel as though I have to comment on this folder. Of all the photographs I've seen on the subject of the horrors of these places, this shot seems to me to be the most powerful . For some reason this person wearing this flag at this place demonstrates the will of a people. I think it's your best.

Wow! what a great capture. This is what they mean by "a picture is worth a thousand words"

hi pawel! this excellent photo is imo far beyond of any rating-system. originality? aesthetics? it`s more - so much more that it`s hard to express. it`s an outstanding picture. regards, anne

A very powerful image... brings tears to my eyes as do many in this series. Great work! Cheers, Raymond

Disturbing.
