Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] In 1987, an album containing four hundred color photographs dating back to the Second World War was found in a Viennese antique shop. As it turned out some time later, on those photos some scenes of life of the Łódź ghetto were represented. Taken by one of the administrative managers of the ghetto, the Austrian Walter Genewein, they were to be considered among the first color images of the Second World War. For historians, the experts who survived themselves, the demonstration of the existence and preservation of those photos almost fifty years later was a shock: although they were absolutely authentic, they did not seem to represent in any way the ghetto remembered by the witnesses.
