Exodus: A Deaf Jewish Family Escapes From the Holocaust

Today is Yom Hashoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day as recognized by the Jewish community. Today and tomorrow, many Jewish people observe by holding memorial services, listening to stories of survivors, and even visiting concentration camps where family members suffered. More than 70 years have passed which means that less and less opportunities to hear stories from survivors’ own mouths are left. In the Jewish community, we grow up listening to stories from our families and attending events with survivors speaking, but unfortunately, I realize that is not a common occurrence outside of religious and cultural institutions.

I urge you to take a moment to find videos of survivors telling their stories, reading books written by survivors of the Holocaust, going to Holocaust museums, or even looking for local organizations holding events with speakers.

Photos of Jewish life in the Łódź Ghetto by Henryk Ross

Henryk Ross, a Polish-Jewish photographer, took several thousand photographs documenting life in the Łódź Ghetto between 1940 and 1944. During the final liquidation of the ghetto, after over 70,000 Jews had already been murdered by the Nazis, Ross buried his negatives in the ground and went into hiding with his wife. Both survived and were able to dig up the negatives after the Red Army liberated the ghetto in 1945. Although much of the material was damaged, around 3000 photos were recovered.

Henryk Ross - Lodz Ghetto Album 

Henryk Ross was a photographer for the Lodz Jewish Council responsible for documenting life in the city’s ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Nazis kept Ross and 160,000 other Jews behind barbed wire and concrete in a small quarter of Lodz’ Old Town. He was charged with creating images of fellow internees that the Nazis could use as propaganda. But Ross also secretly documented the hardships encountered by Lodz Jews, including their frequent deportation to death camps — images that he buried in a box to keep from discovery by his captors.

One of only 844 to survive the ghetto, Ross later exhumed the negatives after the war.

SO, this is @rhiannonmcgavin and her poem “First Base Gold” and it is BEAUTIFUL and in one of her youtube videos she explains how the inspiration of it came from Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss” and Henryk Ross’s photography and I believe these are the corresponding images and I thought it was nice to be able to see all three pieces together so yeah...here’s all this amazing art all at once!!

Henryk Ross was a Jewish photojournalist who, while working as a photographer for the Nazi regime’s Jewish Administration’s statistics department, took pictures of the cruelty inflicted by the Nazi authorities on the Jewish community of Lodz.  Following the German occupation of Poland, the Jewish community of Lodz was confined to a ghetto and would suffer starvation and disease there.  Over a quarter of the ghetto’s population would die of disease or starvation, and the remainder were sent to concentration camps such as Auschwitz and Chelmno.  There were only 877 Jewish persons of the Lodz Ghetto who would survive the Holocaust; one of whom was Henryk Ross. Before Henryk Ross was sent to Auschwitz, he buried the negatives of the pictures he took and would return after World War II ended to dig them up.  They can be seen on exhibit at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts from March 25 to July 30, 2017.
