LODZ GHETTO ALBUM, Henryk Ross, Side Gallery
Thursday 27 January 2011 to Saturday 26 March 2011
Henryk Ross returned to Lodz in 1940, having fought with the defeated Polish army against the invading German forces. As a Jew he was forced to move into the Lodz ghetto. As a photographer he was employed by the Jewish administration’s Department of Statistics, taking the official propaganda pictures and the thousands of identification photographs required by the Nazis. He also began to document the ghetto. “The conditions for taking photographs were extremely difficult,” he recalled. “The photographic materials were smuggled to me in exchange for bread, of which I had far too little.” In simply taking these pictures he risked his life. When the German authorities moved to liquidate the Lodz ghetto in 1944, he buried his negatives and, one of the few who managed to escape, he returned to reclaim them. In his lifetime Ross only published photographs that supported the accepted narrative, but he catalogued his whole collection before he died in 1991.
Opening event, Thursday 27th January 7.00 p.m.
