Tragic stories from the Holocaust are brought to life by Centropa, a Jewish organisation that has interviewed 1,200 elderly Jews in Central and Eastern Europe.
Centropa made copies of family photos, including more than 3,000 of relatives murdered by the Nazis. Hundreds of them died at Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Some of the photos are presented here.
Holocaust Memorial Day is 27 January - and this year it is the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation by Soviet troops. Nazi Germany murdered about 1.1 million people at the vast Auschwitz-Birkenau complex, nearly a million of them Jews.

I shook so hard trying to step into the cattle car like the ones the Nazis used to transport Jews to the camps, that I thought I would be unable to finish the museum tour
