[edit] Disputed copyright

If the photographer is unknown and furthermore unknowable, and if the image documents a historic event in a way that couldn't otherwise be documented, I think any legal argument that would preclude its use is very shaky. I am sure we could find IP attorneys who would represent that Wikipedia is on firm legal grounding in publicizing it. --Leifern (talk) 03:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photographer unknown

Where does "probably SS photographer" come from? This is one of the famous Sonderkommando photographs taken illegally by Auschwitz prisoners. See for example Stone, Dan. The Sonderkommando Photographs. Jewish Social Studies - Volume 7, Number 3, Spring/Summer 2001 (New Series), pp. 132-148 Johannes.klabbers (talk) 11:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Johannes, if that paper includes this image as an example, by all means add that information to the image page. SlimVirgin ^talk|edits 15:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
