A flower hangs from one of the many black and white photos of the victims of genocide at the concentration camp of Aushwitz-Birkenau on April 30, 2008 in Krakow, Poland. Victims were shaved and their hair was sold by the SS. Aushwitz was established in 1940 for Polish political prisoners but as time passed the Nazis began to deport people from all over Europe to the camp, mainly Jews but also Russians, Roma, Czechs, Yugoslavs, Austrians and Germans.
