Description
Shows how differently Nazi and Jewish photographers saw the life of the Jews in the East European ghettos. Although many Nazi photographers were professionals and provide the best quality pictures, there is no compassion in their photography to the sufferings of the ghetto inhabitants. Jewish photographers show many nuances and aspects of Jewish life in the ghettos hidden from the Nazis. These pictures help us better to visualize the life of the Jews in the ghettos.
