19451874311945-46. A photograph album compiled by an American soldier serving in Austria immediately after the Second World War containing several photographs documenting the Holocaust. The album is divided into three sections labelled "commercial photographs" "'captured' photographs" and "personal photographs". The Holocaust images are in the "commercial" section and show piles of corpses concentration camp prisoners both naked and in striped uniforms and views of the camps and crematoria. Other commercial photographs depict combat scenes entertainment and bombed-out cities. The "'Captured' photographs" - it is unsure what the compiler means by this - also appear to be commercially produced. The "personal photographs" were all captured by the compiler and individually captioned. They depict the American soldier - identified only as "me" - while posted in Pupping Austria. The images include portraits of himself and his named comrades views of the Pupping Prisoner-of-War camp local buildings and landscapes and excursions to nearby Linz. The photographs are dated from November 1945 to June 1946.
