Download or read book The Warsaw Ghetto in Photographs written by Ulrich Keller and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 1984 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographs of the Warsaw and Łódź ghettos, taken by three photographers of the Propaganda-Kompanie 689 of the Wehrmacht and now held in the German Federal Archives in Koblenz. The introduction describes life in the ghettos, noting that the photographs were taken as a "tourist attraction". The main aim of the photographers, however, was to show the degradation and repulsiveness of the Jews. Although the photographs presented here seem to be, at first glance, objective and even sympathetic, on closer analysis they show a disproportionate number of men with beards and hooked noses, and emphasize the frivolity of well-to-do Jews and their indifference to the starving. No pictures of soldiers mistreating Jews are included.

Download or read book Image History and Memory written by Michał Haake and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the active relationship among the mechanics of memory, visual practices, and historical narratives. Reflection on memory and its ties with historical narratives cannot be separated from reflection on the visual and the image as its points of reference which function in time. This volume addresses precisely that temporal aspect of the image, without reducing it to a neutral trace of the past, a mnemotechnical support of memory. As a commemorative device, the image fixes, structures, and crystalizes memory, turning the view of the past into myth. It may, however, also stimulate, transform, and update memory, functioning as a matrix of interpretation and understanding the past. The book questions whether the functioning of the visual matrices of memory can be related to a particular historical and geographical scope, that is, to Central and Eastern Europe, and whether it is possible to find their origin and decide if they are just local and regional or perhaps also Western European and universal. It focuses on the artistic reflection on time and history, in the reconstructions of memory due to change of frontiers and political regimes, as well as endeavours to impose some specific political structure on territories which were complex and mixed in terms of national identity, religion and social composition. The volume is ideal for students and scholars of memory studies, history and visual studies.

Download or read book The Boy written by Dan Porat and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cobblestone road. A sunny day. A soldier. A gun. A child, arms high in the air. A moment captured on film. But what is the history behind arguably the most recognizable photograph of the Holocaust? In The Boy: A Holocaust Story, the historian Dan Porat unpacks this split second that was immortalized on film and unravels the stories of the individuals—both Jews and Nazis—associated with it. The Boy presents the stories of three Nazi criminals, ranging in status from SS sergeant to low-ranking SS officer to SS general. It is also the story of two Jewish victims, a teenage girl and a young boy, who encounter these Nazis in Warsaw in the spring of 1943. The book is remarkable in its scope, picking up the lives of these participants in the years preceding World War I and following them to their deaths. One of the Nazis managed to stay at large for twenty-two years. One of the survivors lived long enough to lose a son in the Yom Kippur War. Nearly sixty photographs dispersed throughout help narrate these five lives. And, in keeping with the emotional immediacy of those photographs, Porat has deliberately used a narrative style that, drawing upon extensive research, experience, and oral interviews, places the reader in the middle of unfolding events.
Download or read book Warsaw Modern written by Łukasz Gorczyca and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This album of photographs by Czeslaw Olszewski is a unique cultural testament to the decade just prior to the outbreak of World War II. It is a fascinating voyage to the "Warsaw of the future" via the city's modernist architecture. The album is an attempt to revive the integrity of the Warsaw Architecture School of the interwar period. Yet it is also a narrative of the visionary modernist perspective, of how architecture creates a new spatial and aesthetic order, and how photography invokes an awareness of this order within us. The album presents close to 300 archive photographs of selected architectural structures in Warsaw, including public buildings, residential estates and villas, as well as the modernised highways of the 1930s. These photographs were scanned from the original, glass negatives. When possible, the photographer's original frames were restored on the basis of existing notes.

Download or read book Burning with Desire written by Geoffrey Batchen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1999-03-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an 1828 letter to his partner, Nicéphore Niépce, Louis Daguerre wrote, "I am burning with desire to see your experiments from nature." In this book, Geoffrey Batchen analyzes the desire to photograph as it emerged within the philosophical and scientific milieus that preceded the actual invention of photography. Recent accounts of photography's identity tend to divide between the postmodern view that all identity is determined by context and a formalist effort to define the fundamental characteristics of photography as a medium. Batchen critiques both approaches by way of a detailed discussion of photography's conception in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. He examines the output of the various nominees for "first photographer," then incorporates this information into a mode of historical criticism informed by the work of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. The result is a way of thinking about photography that persuasively accords with the medium's undeniable conceptual, political, and historical complexity.
Download or read book Out written by Maciek Nabrdalik and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAPERBACK ORIGINAL From an award-winning documentary photographer, the first book of its kind to portray the LGBTQ community in contemporary Poland Few in the Polish LGBTQ community could have foreseen how quickly this deeply conservative and Catholic country would change since it joined the European Union. Back in 2004, gay rights marches were banned in Warsaw and homosexuality was a taboo subject. Since then, as the economy has grown, the LGBTQ community has become more widely accepted. In OUT, award-winning Warsaw-based photographer Maciek Nabrdalik, whose work has been published in Smithsonian, L'Espresso, Stern, Newsweek, and the New York Times, takes us deep into this community. Exploring issues of identity and citizenship and taking its inspiration from the passport photo format, OUT features dozens of formal portraits of writers, artists, and everyday people working in a variety of occupations from across Poland. Each portrait is accompanied by a short interview and is shaded to indicate how comfortable that person is with revealing their own sexuality publicly. Intimate and profoundly humane, OUT is a testament to the great strides that can be made in the struggle for LGBTQ rights in a short space of time—a document that will be inspiring to other nations where the queer community does not enjoy the same freedoms. OUT was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).
Download or read book Mapping Warsaw written by Ewa Wampuszyc and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the spatial turn in the humanities and social sciences, Mapping Warsaw is an interdisciplinary study that combines urban studies, cinema studies, cultural studies, history, literature, and photography. It examines Warsaw's post-World War II reconstruction through images and language. Juxtaposing close readings of photo books, socialist-era newsreels called the Polska Kronika Filmowa, the comedies of Leonard Buczkowski and Jan Fethke, the writing and films of Tadeusz Konwicki, and a case study on the Palace of Culture and Science—a "gift" from none other than Stalin—this study investigates the rhetorical and visual, rather than physical, reconstruction of Warsaw in various medias and genres. Ewa Wampuszyc roots her analysis in the historical context of the postwar decade and shows how and why Poland's capital became an essential part of a propaganda program inspired by communist ideology and the needs of a newly established socialist People's Republic. Mapping Warsaw demonstrates how physical space manifests itself in culture, and how culture, history, and politics leave an indelible mark on places. It points out ways in which we take for granted our perception of space and the meanings we assign to it.
Download or read book In the Ghetto of Warsaw written by Heinrich Jöst and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heinrich Jöst was a sergeant in the German Wehrmacht stationed near Warsaw in September 1941. Out of curiosity, Jöst went into the Jewish Ghetto and spent one day--'a day in Hell'-- shooting rolls of film with his rolleiflex. He developed the pictures, hiding them for decades. In 1982 he gave these images to Stern magazine reporter Günther Schwarberg, who, in turn, bequeathed them to the Yad Vashem memorial site in Jersualem, which acknowledged the trove as a 'unique find' equal insignificance to the founding of the Holocaust Memorial Institute itself. This is the first time these images have been published in their entirety.
