When photography was Jewish -- pt. 2. Soviet Jewish photographers confront World War II and the Holocaust. 330 $aMost view the relationship of Jews to the Soviet Union through the lens of repression and silence. Focusing on an elite group of two dozen Soviet-Jewish photographers, including Arkady Shaykhet, Alexander Grinberg, Mark Markov-Grinberg, Evgenii Khaldei, Dmitrii Baltermants, and Max Alpert, Through Soviet Jewish Eyes presents a different picture. These artists participated in a social project they believed in and with which they were emotionally and intellectually invested-they were charged by the Stalinist state to tell the visual story of the unprecedented horror we now call the Holocaust. These wartime photographers were the first liberators to bear witness with cameras to Nazi atrocities, three years before Americans arrived at Buchenwald and Dachau. In this passionate work, David Shneer tells their stories and highlights their work through their very own images-he has amassed never-before-published photographs from families, collectors, and private archives. Through Soviet Jewish Eyes helps us understand why so many Jews flocked to Soviet photography; what their lives and work looked like during the rise of Stalinism, during and then after the war; and why Jews were the ones charged with documenting the Soviet experiment and then its near destruction at the hands of the Nazis. 410 0$aJewish cultures of the world. 606 $aPhotographers$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aPhotographers$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aJewish photographers$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aJewish photographers$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aDocumentary photography$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPhotography 606 $aWar photography$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zEurope, Eastern$vPictorial works 615 0$aPhotographers$xHistory. 615 0$aPhotographers 615 0$aJewish photographers$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish photographers 615 0$aDocumentary photography$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPhotography. 615 0$aWar photography 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a770.947 686 $aNQ 5055$2rvk 700 $aShneer$b David$f1972-$01480318 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781552903321 996 $aThrough Soviet Jewish eyes$93788613 997 $aUNINA
