The
Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre
recently launched a new exhibit:
The Face of the Ghetto: Pictures Taken by Jewish Photographers in the Litzmannstadt Ghetto, 1940-1944
Following the invasion of Poland in 1939, the Nazis imposed a ghetto in the city of Lodz, which they renamed Litzmannstadt. At great personal risk, a handful of Jewish photographers defied orders and documented intimate moments of family, childhood and community in the ghetto. 12,000 such images survived.
he exhibit runs through October 16.
