It is a version of the same exhibit that she had in Berlin in 1998 and is the subject of her interview in the "Leica World" of February 2000. It consists of a few prints made from her copy of the actual movie (very expensive) and an extensive selection of tests shots she took for the picture using a Leica (there are also a few shots of her working taking by an anonymous photographer, including one of her with Leica in hand-Leica A??). As far as I know this the first time her work has been for sale in the United States and the political people out there will be happy to know that the net proceeds (by the gallery, apparently not her) are being donated to the Holocaust Museum. I thought the pictures were brilliant and reasonably priced considering who they are by; so I bought two myself. Please note I am Jewish. Please no political discussions.
