Für das Zusammenziehen der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Ghettos auf dem Gebiet der Tschechoslowakei und für den Transport zahlloser jüdischer Männer, Frauen und Kinder verschiedener Nationalitäten in die Vernichtungslager, wie z.B. Auschwitz-Birkenau, ist Judenmörder EICHMANN an führender Stelle mitverantwortlich gewesen. Die dokumentarischen Fotos gehören zu einer Anzahl Aufnahmen, die von dem aus Nordböhmen stammenden SS-Mann Bernhard WALTER mit Eichmanns Genehmigung in Auschwitz angefertigt wurden ["Auschwitz-Album"]

English translation of the German description: "Documentary photos of Eichmann's crimes, murderer of the Jews. Eichmann and his officers were responsible for the murder of most of the Jewish population in the ghettos of the territory of Czechoslovakia, and for the transport of countless Jewish men, women and children of different nationalities to the extermination camps, for example Auschwitz-Birkenau. The documentary photos are part of the pictures from SS-Mann Bernhard Walter (from North Bohemia) and were admitted by Eichmann. Fascist criminals like Eichmann did not even halt for the elderly or children. Here, children and an old woman are on the way to the death barracks of Auschwitz-Birkenau."
