[Leica] IMG: a world that no longer exists

[Piers Hemy]

Thank you Nathan. I can perfectly well understand that you feel emotionally unable to do anything with these images, but it is enough that you have scanned them, and now posted them. As an ensemble they are as eloquent a testimony to your lost family as anyone could have written in words, and as a microcosm of what was done, indeed a _world_ that no longer exists.

Jim’s pictures of his family from the 20th century inspire me to share pictures from Lublin, Poland in the 1920s and 1930s. I inherited these pictures from my father after he died in 2004, and have scanned them but I have not been able (emotionally) to do anything serious with them. I just note that they have held up very well considering what they have been through, and that they depict a world that was brutally destroyed. The vast majority of the people you see in these pictures perished in the Holocaust, including my father’s younger brother, after whom I am named:
