Deathly Still: Pictures of Concentration Camps

"...In 1987 Dirk Reinartz set out on his sad intinerary: Dachau, Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, Treblinka. The list goes on. Seven years later he has compiled this series of 200 black-and-white photographs of the 24 ruins of the death camps. The unbearable similarity of the remaining structures of these buildings--everywhere train tracks, barbed wire, concrete, windowless walls, an inhuman absence of any detail--provides undeniable witness to the mechanisation of inhumanity and complete institutionalisation of power."--the publisher. This is without a doubt one of the most powerful and moving photography books ever published.
