In pictures: Auschwitz

Two of Auschwitz's commanders were tried and executed in Poland in 1947. Another was arrested near Hamburg in 1960 and died in jail three years later.

The trial in this photograph took place between December 1963 and August 1965.

The testimony from defendants, mostly low-level assistants to the camp commanders, and from survivors, provided a detailed and chilling picture of the daily routine at Auschwitz, and the machinery of genocide.
