[PW] PW] holocaust orchestra clarification

[Burton, Donna]

Well this website:
http://www.music.ucsb.edu/projects/musicandpolitics/archive/2007-1/fackler.html
states this:
The lineup in the camp orchestras varied from a temporary trio in Treblinka with mandolin, violin and a wind instrument, to the eighty-strong long-term symphony orchestra in the main camp at Auschwitz.[32] <http://www.music.ucsb.edu/projects/musicandpolitics/archive/2007-1/fackler.html#_ftn32>  In most cases, however, they were medium-sized groups consisting predominantly of wind and string instruments. Except in the case of the women's camp of Birkenau, which had the only female orchestra, at times conducted by Alma Rosé,[33] <http://www.music.ucsb.edu/projects/musicandpolitics/archive/2007-1/fackler.html#_ftn33>  all these groups consisted exclusively of men. 
 
However, at another site there's a photo which appears, to me at least, to have some women in it:
