I find your request a bit strange and more than macabre.
You can find images on the internet......
....the Dems and liberals certainly can as they mock our President with taunts during this Dem/liberal made child crisis on the border
Personally, rather than images, I think your daughter should read some first account books to give her the true meaning of the Holocaust.....
....ie.....NIGHT by Ellie Wiesel....

Go to google books. Examine the OLD history books and look at the pre-war years.

Look up the locations on Google Maps, click on the site, click on photos from the site, mission completed.

I dont know where you live, but if you can get your daughter to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC she can get informed, educated and much more.
Its a daunting experience......but worth the go.

I live in Warsaw - trust me, the pictures will not convey anything more than you can google
The difference is when you VISIT.
Even if you visit in bright summer, there is something eerie about the place. you can sense death there
Google it for pictures, but fly here for a visit -- you can get cheap charter tickets and for Americans its visa on arrival
If your daughter wants to really do the World-War II tour of Poland I would suggest the following itinerary:
- Fly to Warsaw -
- visit the Old Town and the Jewish cemetery.
- In the Old Town you will see on every corner a little cross in stone with writing in Polish on it - this says "In this place in DD-MM-194y X number of Poles were killed by Germans" - start your walk from the corner of Świętokrzyska and Krakowskie Przedmieście and walk towards the Old town.
- Stop and see the monuments that will show you the level of destruction the Germans visited on the place -- the entire "Old" Town was rebuilt 1946-1960 as the Germans destroyed everything
- at the New Town, turn left and go to the Jewish cemetery
- you can take a bus 180 - There is the Jewish museum on the way, but skip it for now (or permanently -- I find the museum a disappointment, but more on that later) and head to the cemetery
- view especially the monuments at the entrance, there is a very moving verse written by a Jewish survivor that reads My grandma Masza had twenty grandchildren, my grandma Hana had eleven of them. I was the only one to survive. Jacek Eisner.
- In memory of one million Jewish children murdered by Nazi German barbarians, 1939-1945. Jack Eisner, founder, sponsor.
- Then head to the Warsaw Uprising museum
- Go back to the Old Town to compare the damage
I don't like the Jewish museum - Polin - I find it badly arranged in the modern style of more show than trying to tell a narrative. It doesn't show much more than glimpses of the 1000 year history of Jews in Poland
- Go to Kraków by train
- visit the old town in kraków
- Go to the Jewish quarter, Kazimierz
- take a train to Auschwitz and be prepared to be very depressed
- the next day go to the salt mines of Wieliczka - it will give you something a bit more uplifting

As others have mentioned you could try Google images, be careful of the sources, or go to sources like
Yad Vashem, the
US Holocaust Museum, or
Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum sites directly. However it sounded like you were looking for current pics from visitors. If so try travel sites like
Tripadvisor They've got about 15,000 of Auschwitz uploaded by tourists.

I have been to both Bergen-Belsen and Dachau in the past two years plus the Anne Frank Haus in Amsterdam. All are very different. At Belsen, most of the place had been razed by the British and all that generally remains are these HUGE mass graves. Each one says how many are buried there. I visited in January of last year and there was snow on the ground. It is very eerie. In the parking lot I heard birds chirping, but as soon as I got to the Cemetery area, it was still quiet. I was alone, which made it even creepier. I then toured the adjacent Documentation Centre and had a snack at the cafe (also a bit weird). Dachau actually still has a lot to see including the crematory and buildings. The museum there is excellent and of course the Gate with Arbeit Macht Frei is still there. Weird feeling walking both in and out of that gate. Note though that these were not the extermination centers like those in Poland, with the exception of Auschwitz, Stutthof, and Majdanek, most were completely destroyed. The Anne Frank house is also quite sobering.

I regret using the word macabre....
....it certainly is commendable to have a daughter who wants to know the truth and be able to counter the Holocaust Deneirs.
