Daniel Libeskind has designed an outdoor installation called Through the Lens of Faith in Poland to showcase photographer Caryl Englander's portraits of Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors.
Through the Lens of Faith is a series of three-metre-high steel panels lining a path near the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum in O?wi?cim.

Englander photographed survivors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp over the course of three years.

The 21 portrait subjects are of Jewish, Polish, Roman Catholic and Sinti survivors, who the photographer found through survivor networks associated with the Amud Aish Memorial Museum in Brooklyn, New York.

Each person's photo is displayed on a vertical panel set back from the main display and screened behind a black glass overlay etched with their first-person account of their experience in Auschwitz-Birkenau and how they sustained their faith. The black glass can be opened on a hinge to reveal the portraits, which were taken in the subjects home and show some of them with their sleeves rolled up to reveal their serial number tattoo.

Through the Lens of Faith opened on 1 July 2019 in advance of the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation in 1945.
Polish-American architect Libeskind founded Studio Libeskind with his wife, Nina, in 1989 after winning the competition to design Jewish Museum Berlin. He has returned to the project several times, building an extension and later an education centre.
