- Henryk Ross
In Ross's photographic record of human life and suffering, we see the Nazi propaganda he was compelled to produce alongside the images of tragedy and resilience he wanted us to know. Ross's skill as a photographer enabled him to make single moments into poignant narratives, and his vision allows us to reflect on this difficult history. We have created this site for teachers, students, researchers and generations of families connected to the Lodz Ghetto. Explore, learn and share with us. Explore the Collection >
