This record group is comprised of multiple collections of (largely secondary) photo-documents reflecting the Nazi implementation of the Final Solution. The photographs depict anti-Jewish atrocities, mass killings, massacres, pogroms, and various ghetto and camp scenes. In addition to highlighting the unbearable reality of life in the Warsaw Ghetto, other documents shed light on mass deportations and the aftermath of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
Most collections in this record group are divided up according to geo-political divisions. They contain secondary photo-documents from events in almost all German-occupied territories in Europe, including scenes of the Babi Yar massacre in Kiev and the anti-Jewish atrocities and actions in the occupied Soviet territories.
The arrangement scheme for the record group was imposed during processing in the absence of an original order. Materials are arranged by subject/creator, then by identifier, as assigned by the processor.
