The secret photos from the Lodz ghetto

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

Picture 160,000 people living in less than four square kilometres. This was the size of the Jewish ghetto in Lodz, Poland, during World War II. The Nazi鈥檚 considered it as a model ghetto, sealed off from the rest of the town by walls and wire fencing, a city within the city. One man, though, dared to photograph what life was really like there. Nina Porzucki went to an exhibit of his work at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
