Atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust were
photographed extensively. These images have been subjected to a
perplexing variety of treatments: variously ignored, suppressed,
distorted and--above all--exploited for propaganda purposes or
political interest. This book examines the history of this aspect
of the Holocaust--its aftermath and afterlife. Whether taken by
Nazis or their collaborators, by Jews themselves, their
sympathizers and the resistance movements in the occupied
territories, or by Allied forces at the end of the war, Struk
suggests that the provenance of these images has been seen as of
secondary importance to their meaning and the political ends they
have been used for--from the desperate attempts of the war-time
underground, to the memorial museums of Europe, the US and Israel
today. Struk recounts the history of the use and abuse of Holocaust
photographs and asks whether or not these images can serve as
"evidence," as true representations of the events they depict. The
book is illustrated with a wide range of photographs, including
some never before seen.
