Ross photographed many factories and workshops to demonstrate the efficiency of Jewish labour. Having worked as a photojournalist for the Polish press before
1939, he carefully composed images showing workers engaged in various stages of production, which satisfied the ghetto’s Nazi administrators. This series shows Lodz
Ghetto residents making mattresses filled with wood shavings.
