Abstract:
Analyzes differences between photographs taken in the Polish ghettos by Jews and those taken by German soldiers. Describes massacres of Jews in Kovno in June 1941, the establishment of the ghetto, the economic and cultural organization of the Jews in the ghetto, and the resistance organization whose members were arrested and murdered by the Gestapo. Many Jews from Germany were sent to this ghetto and executed within a few days. Few Jews survived the Kovno ghetto, among them Zwi Kadushin who succeeded in secretly photographing ghetto life.
