This particular photograph is from the Elba Work Camp, and is one of the less graphic of the photographs. Many others showed camp inmates who were burned by the Nazi camp guards as the Allied troops approached the camp. Life magazine went against its usual policies and published many of Margaret Bourke-White's graphic concentration camp photos, allowing Americans and the rest of the world to take in the extent of the horror of the work camps and concentration camps.
