@jeena There are different archives that also collect photographs of victims that were taken before the war and before the deportations.

@auschwitzmuseum I see. I'm interested because my great grandfather died in Auschwitz and I wonder if there is a way for me to get any information about him. He was not a Jew but fighting for the independence of Silesia from both Poland and Germany back then, which didn't quite work for the Nazis.
