This time last year I posted a photo set of Auschwitz-Birkenau; this year I have decided to do it again, but instead share some of my more conceptual edits surrounding the topic of Auschwitz. I decided to emphasise the eeriness of it, the millions of lives that were taken, others scarred. I imagine restless souls looking for peace, and have tried to portray this. How could this have happened, and how are things like this still happening today? I thought that man is meant to learn from their mistakes?

In October I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau. Despite having learnt about it in school it still shocked me when I arrived. It seems like a normal place until you look at things like the barbed wire fences; I didn’t expect to see trees inside this place where so much cruelty occurred. I found the collections of the Jewish people’s possessions especially poignant, knowing that they were taken to Auschwitz in the hope of a new life. I decided to make the images black and white to represent the past, with any hints of colour representing the sorrow of the present; that this is a reminder that something like this should never happen again.
