German law enforcement has created a virtual model of the Auschwitz concentration camp to help prosecute the few remaining suspected accomplices in the mass killings committed there by the Nazi regime.
The team headed by Bavarian State Criminal Investigation Office (LKA) digital imaging expert Ralf Breker used blueprints from Auschwitz archives, over a thousand period photos, and laser landscape scans he made at the site in 2013 to develop a precise virtual model of the death camp. The model can be toured with a VR headset.
The goal is to help prosecute Auschwitz staff for complicity in the atrocities committed there. In the past, some suspects claimed that they were not aware of the mass killings at the camp, and the model helps put such claims to scrutiny.
