Beginning in 1988, Michael Kenna photographed the Nazi concentration and extermination camps. His goal was to convey what he himself found impossible to forget about the camps: the inexpressible suffering of the victims that can only be hinted at by the haunting emptiness of the camps. These 88 images resonate a greater truth that challenges our collective conscience to avoid repeating this dark and sinister part of human history.
