Life under Nazi Rule
The Portland Art Museum and Or-
egon Jewish Museum and Center for
Holocaust Education jointly present two
exhibitions featuring photographs from
German-occupied Poland in 1939 when
the Nazis consolidated a Jewish popula-
tion of more than 160,000 into the Lodz
Ghetto.
The collection of photographs from
the period by the late Polish Jewish
photojournalist Henryk Ross offer an
extraordinary rare glimpse of life under
Nazi rule.
The holocaust center’s exhibit on the
topic opens Tuesday, Oct. 9 and runs
through Feb. 24. The art museum’s Lodz
exhibit will run from Oct. 27 to Feb. 27.
Both facilities are offering offer a full
slate of exhibit-related programming.
More than a quarter of the inhabitants
of the Lodz Ghetto died of starvation
and disease, while most were deported
to concentration and death camps.
Ross was confined to the ghetto in
1940, forced to serve as a bureaucratic
photographer, making official photo-
graphs for Jewish identification cards
and images. Hoping to preserve a histo-
ry record, he buried more than 6,000 of
his negatives in 1944 and returned for
them after the ghetto was liberated.
The Portland Art Museum and Oregon Jewish
Museum and Center for Holocaust Education jointly
present two exhibitions featuring photographs
documenting the brutal realities of life under Nazi
rule during German occupied Poland in 1939.
