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.

Following the Life of Lili Jacob and the Auschwitz Album: a photographic Journey
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.
