Summary/Abstract: The article analyses The Report, a poem by Johannes Bobrowski, which is a poetic commentary on the photograph of Jewish guerrilla forces, taken after their escape from the transport to the Bajli Gelblung camp and during the interrogation by German officers. Detailed studies of different versions of the photograph, functioning in German, Swiss and French wartime newspapers, along with the signatures and the reprinting in the book edited by Gerhard Schoenberner in 1960, allow to uncover new circumstances of the woman’s arrest and look closely at the specifity of the poem by Bobrowski, which stands out against his other lyric poems.
