The Sonderkommando photographs are four blurred photographs taken secretly in August 1944 inside the Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland.[1] Along with a few photographs in the Auschwitz Album, they are the only ones known to exist of events around the gas chambers.[a]
The images were taken within 15–30 minutes of each other by an inmate inside Auschwitz-Birkenau, the extermination camp within the Auschwitz complex.
