Young Terrified Jewish Girl About To Die

            She died at the Auschwitz extermination camp on February 18, 1943, after being injected with phenol into her heart.

Just before her execution, she was photographed by a prisoner named Whilem Brasse, who later spoke out against the executioner who had hit her in the face before the photo was taken, as seen by the bruise on her lip. In the photo, we see the face of a terrified young girl who didn’t even speak the language and had just lost her mother a few days earlier. She was one of about 250,000 children and young people murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The original black-and-white photo, kept at the Oświęcim Memorial, was later colorized by Brazilian photographer Anna Amaral, who was moved by the image of Czeslawa and wanted to share it in color with the world.
