About
Baluty is a district in the Polish city of Lódz. During World War II, one of the largest and most gruesome Jewish ghettos existed here. What the Nazis did not destroy has become residential again. Jörg Winde's photos taken in Baluty show in a stark yet beautiful way the hard life of the people who live in the district today. We see how people have lovingly decorated the rooms in their home with memories and desires. Jörg Winde has lovingly captured this special world. The history of the Holocaust is described in Baluty district, but only in traces that we can discover by looking at these photos. Baluty is een district in de Poolse stad Lódz. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bestond hier een van de grootste en gruwelijkste Joodse getto's. Wat de nazi's niet hebben vernietigd, is weer een woonwijk geworden. Jörg Winde's in Baluty gemaakte foto's laten op een grimmige en toch mooie manier het harde leven zien van de mensen die tegenwoordig in de wijk wonen. We zien hoe mensen liefdevol de kamers in hun huis hebben ingericht met herinneringen en verlangens. Jörg Winde heeft deze bijzondere wereld liefdevol vastgelegd. De geschiedenis van de Holocaust staat beschreven in het district Baluty, maar alleen in sporen die we kunnen ontdekken door naar deze foto's te kijken.
