Flashes of memory: photography during the Holocaust

Jerusalem: Yad Vashem , 2018. 216 p., il. 29 cm. Hard. ISBN 978-965-308-559-6.  In English

This exhibition presents visual documentation of the Holocaust from three perspectives: the Germans, the Jewish victims, and the liberators, while emphasizing the different but unique perspectives of the Jewish photographers. As far as visual documentation is used as a historical document, its use requires reference to the details of the facts, therefore, the photographs and films presented here are accompanied by details and explanations of the documenting photographers’ worldview, the circumstances that led them to their selection of the photographed objects, and their purpose.
