Henryk Ross was a photographer tasked with taking propaganda photos for the German administration, but in hiding he managed to capture life in the Lodz ghetto: executions, deaths, births, weddings, deportations. His negatives and works from 1940-1944, buried in the ground, were unearthed after the war. They are a unique record of the life and Holocaust of Lodz Jews and those deported to the ghetto from towns near Lodz and from Nazi-occupied Europe. They come from the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston and the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto. The above institutions have made part of their collection available to the Jewish Community of Lodz to make the exhibition a memorial to the ghetto.
