Photographer Reframes a Holocaust Victim’s Final Journey Through the Lenses She Once Crafted
A new exhibition at ARCHER at House 88 in Oświęcim, Poland, uses restored camera lenses once manufactured by Jewish engineer Lore Sternfeld to reconstruct the inner world of the Holocaust victim who crafted them before Nazi forces murdered her at Auschwitz in 1943. Ground Glass: Reframing the World of Lens-Maker and Holocaust Victim Lore Sternfeld, by Jewish-American photographer Hannah Altman, opened June 21, 2026, at the Auschwitz Research Center on Hate, Extremism and Radicalization (ARCHER).
