http://www.ColeThompsonPhotography.com • • The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau • • What can be said about Auschwitz-Birkenau that hasn't already • been said? What can be photographed at those sacred places that • hasn't already been photographed? • • As I thought about what had occurred there I wondered how any • human could do such inhumane things, and then I recalled • The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain. In this story a young • boy named Seppi is talking to Satan about a man who had brutally • beaten his dog. Seppi declared that this man's actions were • inhumane and Satan responded: • • No, it wasn't Seppi; it was human--quite distinctly human. • • Satan points out that no other creature on the planet would • treat another this way...except humans. • • I had not intended to photograph during my tour of the camps but • after being there a few minutes, I felt compelled. With every step • I wondered about the people whose feet had walked in exactly the same • footsteps. I wondered if their spirits still lingered there today. • • And so I photographed ghosts.
