Lodz Ghetto Album

Henryk 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 (Poland's largest ghetto after Warsaw), where he became one of two official photographers. 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 while recording scenes of family life among the ghetto 'elite'. Foreword by Robert-Jan Van Pelt (Holocaust expert and bestselling author). 100 photographs in album section, with Ross's captions, edited by photographer Martin Parr.
