Photographers of the Warsaw Uprising 1944 exhibition

Poles and Jews were forbidden to own cameras or take photographs throughout the occupation of Poland by Germany and Russia in World War 2. Despite the danger, the Polish Resistance established covert photographer training. The 63-day struggle for the city of Warsaw was documented by the Underground BIP and photographs were published with captions in secret newspapers and bulletins.
This exhibition introduces several of these Uprising photographers, including their lives, works and journal notes in English translation. It runs alongside the photography exhibition “Warsaw Uprising ‘44” which is part of the Auckland Festival of Photography.
