| Summary |
Photographs of the Warsaw and Łódź ghettos, taken by three photographers of the Propaganda-Kompanie 689 of the Wehrmacht and now held in the German Federal Archives in Koblenz. The introduction describes life in the ghettos, noting that the photographs were taken as a "tourist attraction". The main aim of the photographers, however, was to show the degradation and repulsiveness of the Jews. Although the photographs presented here seem to be, at first glance, objective and even sympathetic, on closer analysis they show a disproportionate number of men with beards and hooked noses, and emphasize the frivolity of well-to-do Jews and their indifference to the starving. No pictures of soldiers mistreating Jews are included |
