The Lemmy equivalent of r/195 on Reddit. Not officially affiliated (yet).
Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
There's another 196 over on 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Most people use the Blahaj.zone one so this place isn't very active.

If you visit the Holocaust museum you can see the only known photos documenting the attrocities as they happened. Someone snuck a camera and film in to a Auschwitz prisoner who managed to take 4 or 5 grainy photos showing the guards piling and burning bodies.

These are probably the pictures you're talking about.
Sadly, I give it 10 years before AI has eroded public trust in photos so extensively that no one believes any pictures or videos they see anymore
Need a certified date postmark for pre ai images
Lots of spelling mistakes on that page, could they really not proofread it a bit? "Memebers", "backgroudn", etc...
There is also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_Album and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Concentration_Camps_(film)
The latter hits hard. Unbelievable images. Luckily not in color.
Can be watched at https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/was-die-deutschen-nicht-sehen-wollten-a-9e63991b-cd26-4169-9fe8-bb118bf404e4 if that's not geoblocked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B6cker_Album is also noteworthy.
