Inside the former Podgórze ghetto, Kraków.

This is another view of Bolesława Limanowskiego, the street that ran through the middle of the ghetto.

At its eastern end, the school – which still stands – was used by the ghetto authorities to store dental and other medical equipment as well as books.

I'm seriously thinking of expanding on my Shoah Images website to create a book of my contemporary photographs of Holocaust sites etc, with a bit more of a written accompaniment to each one. The photos will lead the story as it were. Any book publisher/agent willing to help/support me here?

Płaszów. These are the ruins of the imposing Jewish pre-burial hall. Only partially destroyed by the Germans – who used part of the building as a morgue – the Polish authorities completed the job in the aftermath of war.

Kraków’s High (or Tall) Synagogue – so-called because it was, literally, the city’s tallest synagogue. During the Holocaust, the Nazis stripped bare the interior of the building. The ceiling, as well as the roof, was also destroyed.

One entrance to the Podgórze ghetto in Kraków. The street is called Bolesława Limanowskiego and it ran east-to-west through virtually the entire ghetto area. A gated and guarded entrance would have been seen approximately where the lorry is positioned in the centre of the photograph.

Bełżec. Inside the memorial, looking inwards. The walls loom high around you, enclosing you in grief and remembrance. Some half a million people died here, their first names carved into the walls of the memorial.
