Henryk Ross (1910–1991) was a Polish Jewish photographer who documented the Łódź Ghetto during the Holocaust. Before World War II, he worked as a sports and press photographer in Warsaw. From 1940, he was employed by the Department of Statistics for the Jewish Council (Judenrat) within the Łódź Ghetto, where he produced official identity and propaganda photographs. Utilizing his position and access to photographic facilities, Ross also clandestinely captured thousands of images documenting daily life, hunger, deportations, and Nazi atrocities. In 1944, as the ghetto faced liquidation, he buried a collection of approximately 3,000 negatives to preserve them as a historical record. He retrieved these after liberation in 1945. Ross emigrated to Israel in 1950 and later testified during the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann.[1,2,3,4,5]
