    In the Enemy's Viewfinder - The German photo-journalists in occupied Warsaw 1939-1945

    During World War II, around 700,000 residents of Warsaw lost their lives. Almost the whole Jewish population was murdered. In 1945, Warsaw was a city that was almost destroyed and without people. The photographs on show come from the observations of the “Enemy’s Viewfinder”, namely each of the propaganda companies of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS.

    A propagandist perspective of the occupied city and its inhabitants is shown through the lenses of German war reporters: the September campaign, the destructions, the repression of the population of Warsaw, the everyday life in the occupied city and in the Warsaw Ghetto up until its destruction after the Ghetto Uprising (April-Mai 1943), finally the Warsaw Uprising (August-October 1944) and the total destruction of the city between October 1944 and January 1945.
