Abstract

A collection of photo-documents from the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust and from the other repositories.

Overall, these are secondary photo-documents reflecting Nazi-German atrocities, life in the ghettos and concentration camps and day-to-day life in the German-occupied and controlled territories

Scope and Contents of the Materials

This Record Group comprises three collections, namely Negartives of the Photo-Documents; Secondary Photo-Documents and Poland, wartime photo-documents and the photo-documents from Polish repositories.

Collection Historical Note

A collection of secondary materials gathered for the purpose of exhibit-building for the new Museum building opening in October 2010. The secondary materials were gathered from other institution, historical publications and educational material, and resources available to the public through the internet. As these documents were gathered for exhibit research, not all images were used for the permanent exhibit. Information on images used throughout the museum in its permanent exhibit can be found in reference to Museum Curatorship documents.  In this record group, there is one sub-collection of negatives that has its own finding aid. In terms of regional affiliation, this record group comprises images of the big ghettos, such as Warsaw, Lodz, as well as from the smaller ghettos like Tarnów, Zablocie. Therefore the images are organized roughly according to region and theme but have no sub-collections.
