Theme

An exhibition of photography by Bronek Kozka featuring several landscapes taken at Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. "Standing in the bitter cold looking to a foggy horizon and seeing what looked like columns, but they were chim- neystacks for as far as I could see. One chimney, one hut...the magnitude of the horror dawned on me at this moment. I didn’t want to take any photographs at first...however at some point I decided to shoot. Maybe it put a filter between me and my location or maybe it’s just how I see best, I’m not sure. It was here that the most frightening and daunting revelation occurred to me. How close my family was to Auschwitz...how all could have ended here."
