Summary

Description
English: From USHMM: " Prisoners at forced labor building the Dove-Elbe canal. The Kapos wear white and black armbands.

Pictured at the front, left facing the camera and digging with a shovel, is Salo Blechner."

From Neuengamme main-exhibition: "An der Dove Elbe mussten die Häftlinge Erdreich mithilfe von Loren und Schubkarren am Ufer verteilen. Foto: SS, 1941/42. (NIOD, 244 F/177-35)" http://neuengamme-ausstellungen.info/media/ngmedia/browse/1/3

As part of the SS-propaganda, the prisoners are depicted drasticly euphemistic, compared to the reality prisoners in Neuengamme had to endure.
