The Yad Vashem Photo Archive currently holds nearly half a million photographs. When Yad Vashem began its activities, and especially after its official establishment in 1953, many photographs were transferred to its care. Many of these arrived as individual images or as small collections preserved by families. A smaller portion arrived in the form of photo albums. Yad Vashem now houses approximately five hundred such albums.
The photographs, originating from both public archives and private collections, document Jewish life before and during the Holocaust, the lives of Holocaust survivors in its aftermath, and the efforts to commemorate the Holocaust.
The series of articles presented here surveys four types of photo albums from the archive: Nazi propaganda albums, an album documenting deportation to extermination, an album depicting the construction of a death camp, and an album reflecting the rehabilitation of life after the Holocaust.
