Large Collection of Newspaper Photographs - Ghettos and Extermination Camps
Large collection of newspaper clippings from the WWII period showing Jews in a ghetto and in extermination camps. A large portion of the pictures are harsh to view.
Newspapers clippings showing photographs of Jews in a ghetto, photographs from the death camps Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald, Bergen Belsen, Chelmno, executions of Jews by hanging and gunfire, starvation, 'Muselmann' in the camps, abuse in the street, crematoria, corpses of the murdered, torture devices, Jews descending from the train, and more. Also, 9 photograph postcards describing the horrors of the Dachau death camp.
The photographs were taken from newspapers from the Land of Israel and Europe, some from Arab newspapers. Many of the newspaper clippings in the collection appear in books published after the Holocaust which described the horrors in the pictures such as 'Destruction of the Jews of Poland' and more.
Most of the pictures were stuck on cardboard in order of the events. Cardboard clippings with Yiddish descriptions of the pictures were added to the file.
Some approximately 160 newspaper clippings in total in an old cardboard file from the '40's. Brown pages. Stains. Generally moderate condition.
