    Description

    "At first (1941), they would collect those being deported at the prison. The man on the left put a scarf on his face to conceal his beard because the Germans took particular pleasure in abusing those with beards." (Photo-caption from "Diary of a Youth in the Ghetto, Lodz 1942," a photo-essay featuring excerpts from the diary of a young person imprisoned in the Lodz Ghetto alongside photos taken by Henryk Ross in the ghetto between 1940 and 1944. The photo-essay was published in Israel after 1958.)
