The interior of Dachau concentration camp's gas chamber, a room with light-colored tile walls and brick floor. In the ceiling, circular openings are visible through which Zyklon B gas was introduced, while fake shower nozzles completed the deception for victims. Although historians still debate the actual use of this chamber for mass killings, it nonetheless represents the genocidal intent of the Nazi regime. The light filtering through the open door creates a stark contrast with the darkness of the crime this place symbolizes.
