Beyond the Abyss – 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau
27 January 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, where over one million people were murdered, most of whom were Jewish.
In 2024, photographer Olivier Mériel accompanied two study trips involving high school students to the sites of Auschwitz-I and Auschwitz-II Birkenau camps and photographed the remnants of the Holocaust and the Nazi concentration camps. These study trips were organized as part of the ?Memory of Auschwitz? initiative led by the Normandy Region and the Shoah Memorial, in partnership with the Normandy Regional Academic Authority and the Regional Directorate for Food, Agriculture, and Forestry of Normandy.
