Any moderators from the reddit can have mod here, just ask.
There's another 196 over on [email protected]
Most people use the Blahaj.zone one so this place isn't very active.

"Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." - Dwight D. Eisenhower 1945
The image is a black and white photo of a large pile of human skulls and bones in front of a barbed-wire fence.
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.
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.

These are probably the pictures you're talking about.
Lots of spelling mistakes on that page, could they really not proofread it a bit? "Memebers", "backgroudn", etc...
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
