Photographs from the Lodz Ghetto

The Portland Museum of Art is currently exhibiting Memory Unearthed: The Lodz Ghetto Photographs of Henryk Ross. I was able to see the exhibition and it was very profound. Ross captured the dignity of people living under unbearable conditions.


"Having an official camera, I was able to capture all the tragic period in the Lodz Ghetto. I did it knowing that if I were caught my family and I would be tortured and killed."
- Henryk Ross

but I'll be damned if they aren't chilling just the same. Just knowing the fate those people were going to meet.

We are all bound together in humanity and unfortunately in cruelty towards one another.
