The "Kanada" barracks in the Auschwitz concentration camp, German-occupied Poland, during the Holocaust. Prisoners sort through the belongings of those who were sent to the gas chamber on arrival. The warehouses were named "Kanada" because they contained the looted belongings of prisoners and were regarded within the camp as the land of plenty. The woman in the centre (holding the bowl) is Linda Reich, prisoner #1173 who was deported in March 1942 on the first transport to Auschwitz from Slovakia.
