It is their context, rather than their content, that make them terrifying, tender, painful beyond belief. Mendel Grossman was a photographer, imprisoned in the Lodz Ghetto in the war. He secretly photographed the people around him; his fellow Jews, distant ranks of Nazi soldiers, faces that are scared, eager, innocent, knowing, alive.

Photographs taken secretly by a young Jewish man document the fear, hardship, generosity, and humanity woven through the daily life of the Jews forced to live in the Lodz ghetto during the Holocaust.

Reviews about My Secret Camera : Life in the Lodz Ghetto (7):
Mozel
Mendel Grossman did humanity a great service in risking his life to bring the world visual proof of the horrific tragedies within the Lodz ghetto during the holocaust. Unfortunately the text of this book is written in such an over-simplified style that the publisher's targeted age range; 3rd thorough 5th graders are easily bored by it.
Aside from a few weak descriptions of these powerful images, I felt besieged by Frank Smith's one-sided listing of war facts. Smith's prose melodramatically recites the war's background from a narrow perspective that seems designed to inflame young readers about the suffering of only one race. With so many other races alongside the Jewish people targeted for Nazi genocide, I felt that a more sober and complete narrative about this tragic time in history would have provide the book with the necessary facts to place it among the best of it's genre.
My Secret Camera deprives its readers of a powerful chance to merge the photography of this Jewish ghetto and a first-hand historical account of this terrible time in history. After reading and owning so many incredible and moving Jewish and non-Jewish authored books about the holocaust, I can only recommend you purchase this book for it's pictures - it's not worth reading.
one life
This is another important book on Mendel Grosman the photographer of Lodz the quality of printing in this book is better than the other book on him "Camera in the Ghetto" as some pictures are reprinted here, but still its very good, even if you havent heard about this great human being and hero!
Slowly writer
Great purchasing experience.
Wal
This was a difficult read for my 10yo due to the subject matter not the writing. He says liked the book but it was too sad for him.
Steep
OK but not as in-depth as Visniac;s book.
huckman
I was expecting more. I did not realize it was written as children's literature.
Thorgaginn
This was real.
The pictures are interesting but too few. The text is of appallingly bad taste - mawkish and over-interpreted. The author doesn't know how to write about tragedy, but kitsch he knows - so he daubs schmaltz galore.
