Pictures of the week

Highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.

This week's gallery features images of a Kashmiri girl trying to step around barbed wire; Pope Francis walking through the gate of the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz; and the parents of fallen Baton Rouge police officer Brad Garafola weeping after they are presented with a flag during funeral services.

This gallery contains photos published July 23-30, 2016.
