Inside the Lodz Ghetto

A record of atrocity and resistance, buried in a wooden box

by Alex Q. Arbuckle

When Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939, they created walled-off ghettos in the larger cities to concentrate and imprison the Jewish residents.

Henryk Ross worked as a news and sports photographer in the city of Lodz. Once in the city’s ghetto, he was employed by the Department of Statistics to shoot identification photos and propaganda images of the factories which used Jewish slave labor to produce supplies for the German Army.

That is some photo essay. They have some others worth a look too. I saw similar photos of these of the Warsaw ghetto.

The head of Lodz Ghetto, Chaim Rumkowski, was killed by his fellow Jews, not by the Nazis.
