Ep. 55- Holocaust Photographs with Hilary Earl and Valerie Hébert
Description
In December 1941, an SS man took a series of 12 photographs of an Einsatzgruppen killing in Latvia. The negatives were stolen by a survivor who had copies made and retrieved them after the war.
In today’s episode, we explore what we can learn about the Holocaust from these photographs and, indeed, from photographs in general. I talk with Hillary Earl and Valerie Hébert who have written in depth about these images.
Hilary Earl is a professor of history at Nipissing University.
Valerie Hébert is a professor of history and interdisciplinary studies at Lakehead University.
