Photographs taken in today’s Poland by professional Jewish photographers tend not to be documentary; they are dominated by historical trauma and post-war politics. Poland is construed as synonymous with Auschwitz and the Shoah, and the Poles with hitlerite Nazi Germans. Long-term photographic projects, though, yield more actualized representations.
