people being loaded onto a passenger train, Lodz, Poland, 1942
It looks like there are stars of David on the upper right backs of the coats of the group on the left, so the destination was probably a concentration camp.
No, not a concentration camp (Konzentrationslager), but an extermination camp (Vernichtungslager). There was a definite difference in name and purpose, although the SS certainly enjoyed working concentration camp inmates to death too. ---FR in SC
