The prisoner/photographer also had them wear attire on their heads for the 3/4 angle. I wonder if any people who still say that the entire Holocaust was fiction and made up would be inclined to believe the truth after seeing the colorized photos? I doubt it though.

Brigitte Hoess, Another young girl at Auschwitz, not a prisoner but the daughter of Nazi Camp Kommandant, Rudolf Hoess.
Wash Post, 2013: "Brigitte Höss lives quietly on a leafy side street in Northern Virginia. She is retired now, having worked in a Washington fashion salon for more than 30 years. She recently was diagnosed with cancer and spends much of her days dealing with the medical consequences. Brigitte also has a secret that not even her grandchildren know. Her father was Rudolf Höss, the Kommandant of Auschwitz. It was Rudolf Höss who designed and built Auschwitz from an old army barracks in Poland to a killing machine capable of murdering 2,000 people an hour. By the end of the war, 1.1 million Jews had been killed in the camp, along with 20,000 gypsies and tens of thousands of Polish and Russian political prisoners. As such, Brigittes father was one of the biggest mass murderers in history."
