Photo albums and scrapbooks can tell us a lot about the past. They highlight what the objects’ creators found important or memorable. During the Holocaust, these albums ranged from those documenting Nazis’ lives at concentration camps to those created by victims’ families to remember their loved ones. Learn more about the albums created, cherished, or rescued during the Holocaust.
