Dobre, złe i „nowe” zdjęcia Zagłady
Good, bad, and “new” photographs of Shoah

Summary/Abstract: The article provides a case study – an analysis of so called “diggers photography” used as a starting point and main basis for a book Golden Harvest: Events at the Periphery of the Holocaust by Jan T. Gross and Irena Grudzińska-Gross. Unveiling the methods of constructing the picture meaning that is expressed in the book, the author attempts to deconstruct a strategy of using photography medium as transparent “truth” and natural “evidence”. The consideration of photographical medium as problematic and dialectic, involves an analysis of unknown picture from Yad Vaschem Archive, well-known Self Portrait as a Drowned Man by Hippolyte Bayard and thought of Georges Didi-Huberman from his books Images in Spite of All and Quand les images prennent position, L’oeil de l’histoire: Tome 1.
