The photos in this exhibition reflect the uncompromising efforts of the Nazis 60 years ago to murder every Jew in Europe. Although the Allied victory seemed imminent, the Nazis gathered their remaining resources to locate, deport and murder Jews. These photos bear witness to their relentless and uncompromising efforts and to the enormous pain of their victims.

One of Yad Vashem's first projects over 50 years ago was to begin documenting the names and fates of the victims. Since 1953, close to 3,000,000 names have been recorded on Pages of Testimony and other documents. Included in this exhibition are Pages of Testimony of victims who perished during the events recorded by these photos
