Summary:

Photographs taken secretly by a young Jewish man document the fear, hardship, generosity, and humanity woven through the daily life of the Jews forced to live in the Lodz ghetto during the Holocaust.

Mendel Grossman, imprisoned in the Lodz ghetto during World War II, was driven by a passion to bear witness to the suffering that was going on around him. He secretly photographed people and events in the ghetto, leaving this record to inspire and educate.
