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.

Mausoleum and watchtower, together at Majdanek

Kraków’s famous Old Synagogue can be found at the southern end of one of the district’s main streets, like a counterpart in Lublin, also called Szeroka. The area formed a backdrop to ghetto scenes in Steven Spielberg’s ‘Schindler’s List’.

The sun begins to set over a wintery Sachsenhausen.

Auschwitz-Birkenau. Silence, snow, surveillance and symmetry.

Drancy, in the Parisian suburbs, was an internment camp initially for foreign Jews. In the period between 22nd June 1942 and 31st July 1944, 64,759 people were deported from here in 64 separate transports. The destination for most was Auschwitz. Four went to Sobibór, one to the Baltic.

A vision of the past on a wall in the Łódź ghetto.

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.

The memorial in Biķernieki forest stands in solemn remembrance. 40,000 Jews along with a smaller number of Soviet prisoners-of-war were put to death here, their bodies lying in fifty-five mass graves. It is the largest Holocaust murder site in Latvia.

Ulica Próżna in Warsaw. The city had Europe’s largest Jewish community before the war. Indeed, only New York, globally, had larger. More than 300,000 people and 300 synagogues tell only part of the story of a city buzzing with Jewish life and culture.

The ‘Stolpersteine’ (‘Stumbling Stones’) Project, created by artist Gunter Demnig, identifies former Jewish homes across Germany and wider afield. It also commemorates other victims of the Nazis. Here, in Berlin, the home of the Salinger family is immortalised by four brass plaques on the pavement.

Sobibór station building. This site formed a significant and poignant part of French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann’s epic revisit of the Holocaust.

Memorial to the murdered children of Lidice in the Czech Republic – 82 of whom were gassed at Chełmno by the Nazis – and to other child victims of war.

Only the satellite dishes seem modern. Žemaitijos gatvė in Vilnius. Inside what was the ‘large ghetto’. 29,000 Jews were forced into this area when the ghettos were established in September 1941. 11,000 were accommodated in the ‘small ghetto’.

The room inside the Wannsee villa where Reinhard Heydrich chaired perhaps history’s most infamous meeting. Including representatives of the key agencies to be involved, the concept of the Final Solution – already determined – was rendered practical and achievable in this very room.

The so-called ‘Wailing Wall’ in Kraków’s Old Jewish Cemetery. It is made up of gravestones vandalised by the Nazis.

In the courtyard of Józefa 12 in Kazimierz, Kraków. This very staircase was used in a scene from Spielberg’s ‘Schindler’s List’. Danka Dresner comes racing down the steps to join her mother Chaja. They are then both saved from discovery by the actions of young Adam Levy.

A peaceful sunset at Majdanek

Kraków: Close to the Old Synagogue in the Kazimierz district is the former home of the Rosak family. Their descendants had lived in the area from 1633. The last of the family perished in 1941.
