Commandant Franz Stangl at the Treblinka killing center. German-occupied Poland, 1942-1943

How can an ordinary person decide to elevate their career by taking part in massive crimes against humanity? A historian tells us the story of one such individual.
IranWire’s Photos That Define the Holocaust series reviews photographs, chosen by United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historians, staff, and Youth Ambassadors. Each photo tells a unique story of the Holocaust. Some depict daily life for Jews during the Second World War, some expose antisemitic Nazi propaganda, while others show instances of clandestine documentation of Nazi persecution. The videos also demonstrate how photographs can be used to understand the past, humanize historical events, and honor victims.
