Holocaust Photography

Dr. Daniel Magilow, Professor of German at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, addresses some of the challenges that seemingly straightforward Holocaust photographs present. He discusses what constitutes Holocaust photography; how Holocaust photographs were and are still used; and the ethical considerations surrounding whether “to show” or “not to show” Holocaust photographs.
