Photography

Henryk Ross

Henryk Ross (1 May 1910 – 1991) was a Polish Jewish photographer known for his official and clandestine photographs of the Łódź Ghetto during the Holocaust. Employed by the Department of Statistics for the Jewish Council, he used his position to document scenes of daily life, hunger, deportations, and violence in the ghetto. Before the ghetto’s liquidation, he buried thousands of negatives, about half of which survived after liberation.
