Abstract

Lili Jacob, a Holocaust survivor from the village of Bilky, found the Auschwitz Album at the very end of the Second World War. This album—the only photographs of Jews arriving at Auschwitz-Birkenau—includes images of Lili’s family and her community.

During 2018-2019 I searched for—I read about—I talked about—I contemplated life in Bilky and in Subcarpathian Rus’ (Transcarpathia) before the war. I travelled to Ukraine, Israel, Hungary, and Germany.

Photographs contain stories.

The lens of the camera encourages one to pause and consider what ones sees and how one sees it. Here I am not presenting answers, but rather contained stories as well as alternative perspectives from which to approach sources.

All photographs taken with 35mm or 120mm film cameras.
