Full horror of the Holocaust revealed in heartbreaking colourised photos of starving death camp victims
Heartbreaking tragedy is laid bare in this set of photographs that capture the Nazi extermination machine that was let loose during World War Two
THESE colourised images shed new light on the true horror of the holocaust.
A teenage photographer has undertaken the painstaking task of colourising the haunting black and white images to reveal a new, harrowing, picture of the genocide that took place during World War Two.
Starving inmates of one of the subcamps in Germany can be seen in appalling detail with their bones clearly visible as the prisoners are forced to wear nothing by rags.
Piles of discarded wedding rings from those killed in the Nazi slaughter are also included in the chilling images.
In one of the moving images, American Senator Alebn W Barkley examines those been held in the Buchenwald concentration camp as he investigates the atrocities carried out by the Nazis.
Others show Jews as they are executed by German army mobile death squads, the Einsatzgruppen, while starving children beg for food and alms in a Warsaw ghetto.
Other horrifying images show prisoner no.40472 of the Auschwitz concentration camp, who has been as identified as Michal Loborski, as members of the 42nd Rainbow Division, 7th US Army uncover a wagon transporting some of the horrors of Dachau.
The original black and white photographs were colourised by Joel Bellviure, aged just 17, who lives between Palma, Mallorca and Barcelona, Spain.
He said: “A colourised Holocaust picture can raise awareness that, although being 70 years old, the essence of evil will never evolve, that death doesn't need to be romanticised because of being in black and white.”
