Interior view of a torture chamber in the Breendonck concentration camp.
Original caption reads, "The marks on the wall and roof indicate where a pulley used to be. Prisoners were strung up to the roof by means of a pulley -- sometimes feet-first, sometimes head-first. The pulley was dismantled by the Germans in August 1944."
