The David's Star is one of the most recognized symbols of the Holocaust.

The Nazis forced Jews to wear it both in public before deportation and inside the camps. But did you know it wasn’t the only marking?

Thread: Image The yellow star is the most well-known symbol partly because it wasn’t only used in the camps—it appeared across Europe.

Its design varied slightly by country. Typically, the word "Jew" was written inside it in the local language. Image

🔻Witold Pilecki is known as the only person who voluntarily entered the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Inside, he organized a resistance group, managed to escape, and reported the crimes committed there to the outside world.

Here's his story.

Thread: Image Pilecki was born in the Russian Empire on May 13, 1901, near Lake Ladoga. His family had been exiled there as punishment by Tsarist authorities.

His grandfather had taken part in the Polish Uprising of 1863. In 1910, the family moved to Vilnius.

Ebensee is one of those concentration camps that, despite having some of the most harrowing Holocaust photos, is barely known among the general public. Along with Gusen and Woëbellin, it's one of the least known camps.

👉Thread & colorized photos: Image Ebensee is little known for two reasons: First, it was administratively dependent on the more famous Mauthausen camp, and second, it wasn't built until 1943.

The plan was to use prisoners for weapons manufacturing. Image

Normally, when we think of the Holocaust, we tend to imagine the black-and-white photographs taken at the time due to technical limitations.

But... how did the liberators really see these images?

Thread with over 40 colorized photographs: Image Several SS female guards are forced to transport and bury the bodies of dead prisoners at Bergen-Belsen.

Despite not being an extermination camp and having no gas chambers, over 50,000 prisoners died here in nearly two years. Image

This is one of the hardest photos we’ve restored and colored, and perhaps one of the most necessary.

These two men are showing their liberators what their work was like as part of the Sonderkommando at Dachau camp. But what was the Sonderkommando?

Thread: Image To start, this photo is part of a series of documents taken by an American doctor: Gilbert R. Di Loreto.

He accompanied the troops and took chilling photos of the inside of Dachau, the first Nazi camp (opened in 1933).
