Description: "This book reveals how Jews used photographs to document their experiences in the face of National Socialism. Based on analysis of over 15,000 images, it explores previously overlooked efforts of Jews to make sense of the changing landscapes of Germany, justify their decisions under Nazism, and communicate their hopes, anxieties, and self-perceptions"--

Brief description: Rebekka Grossmann is Assistant Professor of Migration History at Leiden University.

Review Quotes: "Still Lives ably shows that the spaces of Jew-ish life cap-tured by pock-et-sized cam-eras con-vey vital nar-ra-tives of life before a seis-mic rupture."-- "Jewish Book Council"
