摘要本文探讨了纳粹迫害的犹太受害者拍摄的照片的易读性。许多博物馆收集了幸存者的私人照片，并用它们来说明大屠杀的证词。但照片和证词并不总是整齐地排列在一起;私人照片也可能混淆观众的期望。我们专注于四个案例研究，包括在波兰，德国和英国拍摄的照片，并采访了幸存者的意义。证词和个人照片，我们的结论是，揭示了犹太人在大屠杀期间经历的不同但互补的方面，如果一起阅读，可以丰富现代观众参与这段艰难历史的方式。
ABSTRACT This article explores the legibility of photos taken by Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. Many museums have collected private photos from survivors, and use them to illustrate Holocaust testimony. But photos and testimonies are not always neatly aligned; private photos can also confound audience expectations. We focus on four case studies, comprising photos taken in Poland, Germany, and the UK, and interviewed survivors about their significance. Testimonies and personal photos, we conclude, reveal different but complementary aspects of Jewish experiences during the Holocaust, and, if read together, can enrich the way in which modern audiences engage with this difficult history.
