Jewish ghetto photography during the Holocaust, contrasting photographs taken by Jewish photographers in the ghettos and camps with those taken by Nazi photographers, presented by Judy Cohen, Director of the Photo Archive and Chief Acquisitions Curator of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The photographs taken by the Jewish photographers (both professional and amateur) capture aspects of the ghetto hidden to the Germans, and also show layers of ambiguity and nuance that the official photos miss. How do these photographs differ from the better known Nazi photographs? Does it matter who took the photo or just what appears in the image?
