Photograph of location of diary?

edit

I just learned of this diary via a Strong Towns blog post which stated:

Not only is the diary itself an incredible piece of history, but the story of how it came to light after more than 70 years adds an additional layer of intrigue. Discovered by a Soviet doctor [Zinaida Berezovskaya] in the ruins of the crematoria at Auschwitz-Birkenau, she kept the diary until her death in 1983. She had kept it tucked away for decades, but not before several attempts to get the diary translated, which she detailed in a note she kept alongside the diary. Additionally, she even included a photo of the crematoria ruins and made sure to point out where the diary was found!

This seemed like an interesting detail that could be added to the wikipedia article. But not sure if it's true, as I can't really find an account of the photographs in other sources.
