Detail of the electrified fence system at Auschwitz. The reinforced concrete posts with ceramic insulators supported barbed wire carrying high-voltage current. This security system made any escape attempt impossible and caused the death of many prisoners who chose to throw themselves against the fence to end their suffering.
