| Summary: | The topic of Holocaust photography has not been systematically explored in recent literature. Millions of images taken by SS propaganda teams and a smaller number of photographs taken by victims, bystanders and liberators have survived. These photographs cover a broad range of events inside Nazi Germany and occupied Europe and their analysis offers us a window on history This article provides information about the identities of photographers, analyzes the purposes these photographs served at the time, and the ways they can be used by historians and social scientists today Since the camera does not record events in a neutral or value-free way, this article attempts to provide an answer on how such images can be used as historical evidence |
