Auschwitz 65 years later















  1. Colour- The colours used in the photo reflects the mood and feeling that the concentration camp would have had 65 years ago and the feeling now as well. The grey sky, dark brown and black on the buildings and fences echo the gloomy, scary, spine chilling feeling you would have had if you were at a concentration camp.
  2. Composition- The composition of this photographs shows us nearly every aspect of the concentration camp with the barbed wire fence to keep the Jews in which then draws our attention down the perfectly symmetrical line of fence down to the watch towers to keep and eye from above and one of the buildings they may have been used for the factory. This shows how every aspect of the concentration camp would have been a terrible place to be in and how evil the Nazis were.
  3. Lines- The repetition of lines in this photograph which are perfectly symmetrical and parallel to each other. These lines and perfectionist details reflects the Nazis way of life and how they felt lived their lives.
  4. The sun that shining down only on the outside of the camp reflects how gloomy and sad it would have been in the camp.
  5. The Fence and Tower- The fence and the watch tower also symbolises how the Jews were like farm animals and had to be kept in a fenced area and watch over 24/7 
















This picture taken of the Auschwitz concentration camp shows us a look into what would have been the lives of the Jewish people who were kept here.
With the geometrical shapes and the perfectionist windows, fences and buildings, the sign saying high voltage in German which was to stop anyone getting out and . All of these reflect the location of the concentration camp and what it actually is.
The railway track passing through the camp which would have been used to transport the Jews into the camp which indicates that there was one way in and one way out which would have been impossible to get out of.
