Emotionally resonant photographs of everyday life in the Jewish
Lodz Ghetto taken during WWII From 1941 to 1944, the Polish Jewish
photographer Henryk Ross (1910-91) was a member of an official team
documenting the implementation of Nazi policies in the Lodz Ghetto.
Covertly, he captured on film scores of both quotidian and intimate
moments of Jewish life. In 1944, he buried thousands of negatives
in an attempt to save this secret record. After the war, Ross
returned to Poland to retrieve them. Although some were destroyed
by nature and time, many negatives survived. This compelling
volume, originally published in 2015 and now available in
paperback, presents a selection of Ross's images along with
original prints and other archival material including curfew
notices and newspapers. The photographs offer a startling and
moving representation of one of humanity's greatest tragedies.
Striking for both their historical content and artistic quality,
his photographs have a raw intimacy and emotional power that remain
undiminished. Distributed for the Art Gallery of Ontario
