What is the story behind a seemingly mundane photograph taken in the street before World War II? What happened to the women featured in this photograph from the Holocaust period? What is this building in flames, and what became of the Jews in that city? The photographs from Yad Vashem's Photo Archive on display here were taken before, during and after the Holocaust, by Jews, Nazis and liberators. As well as telling the story of the Holocaust and portraying a world that was and is no more, these pictures also depict the return to life: vocational training for Jews in Germany before their immigration to Eretz Israel (Mandatory Palestine), processions of Holocaust survivors, and mothers with their babies in the DP camps, among others. Choose a month, wander through the images, and discover the names and the stories behind the faces and scenes.
