The photo that is labeled as “Women in Ravensbruck”, and that is the enlarged front page image is not women in Ravensbruck. They are Hungarian Jewish women from Subcarpathian Rus who have been selected for forced labor at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and are the only survivors of their transport, who were sent to the gas chambers upon arrival. They have just left “disinfection” after being stripped of every possession, brutally searched and shorn. Up front are some women of the Rieder family and Birnbaum sisters. This photo was part of a photo album that belonged to an SS guard and was discovered by a surviving inmate Lily Jacobs after liberation. She eventually donated it to Yad Vashem and it is referred to now as the “Auschwitz Album”. Interestingly, the woman who discovered it found in it, a photograph of herself with her own transport.
