Oficjalne i intymne. Getto łódzkie w fotografiach
Official and intimate. Łódź ghetto in pictures

Summary/Abstract: A collection of photographs from the Łódź ghetto is the largest surviving collection of this kind of photographs. The collection consists of several thousand photographs taken officially by members of the Jewish and German administration, and from hundreds of illegal copies, both those documenting the Holocaust and from private memorabilia. The collection was often used in publications and exhibitions, most often as illustrations. The author tired to systematize those photographs, analyzing individual shots, not only in order to identify the situations and people depicted and primarily the circumstances in which the photographs were taken, in a bid to interpret the intention of the photographer.
