Shows inmates of Dachau concentration camp on a death march through a German village in April 1945 during the Holocaust; photographer unknown. Taken from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) website; originally from KZ Gedenkstaette Dachau.

The USHMM writes that, "A view of the death march from Dachau passing through villages in the direction of Wolfratshausen. German civilians secretly photographed several death marches from the Dachau concentration camp as the prisoners moved slowly through the Bavarian towns of Gruenwald, Wolfratshausen, and Herbertshausen. Few civilians gave aid to the prisoners on the death marches. Germany, April 1945.

For more information about the death marches, see this page.

Rationale for use in Death marches (Holocaust)

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically significant photograph of a death march taken during World War II.
2. It is of lower resolution than the original.
3. It is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
