More DescriptionHenryk Ross (1910-1991) was a press photographer in Poland before World War II. As a Jew, he was incarcerated by the invading Germans in the Lodz Ghetto, where he became an official photographer. His duties afforded him access to film and processing facilities which he used to create a unique record of ghetto life, secretly photographing the atrocities of Lodz as well as scenes of family life among the ghetto "elite". Having survived the war, he was able to recover the 3000 negatives he had buried. A selection of these are presented here in a truly unique book.
