PXL Shots

High Resolution

In 1981 I went to Poland and to Stutthof concentration camp to take pictures for a publisher. The country was in a state of war, just before Solidarity took over, and I got 12 hours visa to do this job and be out of the country again. This camp was completely EMPTY, I was the only visitor there with my polish guide. After the visit I must say I have never felt so emotionally EMPTY in my whole life. The picture here is what I call "The Gate of no Return"

It sure was creepy, you see it on films and books, but to be there is something else
