Anonymous diary from Lodz ghetto, 1943–1944 (2008)

Photography of the fragile diary of a young woman from Lodz, Poland, discovered in 1945 by a Russian army officer in a Birkenau crematorium. The diary was accompanied by ephemera, which we also imaged, relating the circumstances under which the diary was found. We produced a set of archival-quality images for reproduction purposes and generated two lower-resolution sets of derivatives for use by translators and transcribers.
