Historian and photographer Elżbieta Janicka investigates Polish participation in the murder of Jews set up by the German Nazi state, as well as Polish counter-narratives about the Holocaust and Jewish history. Janicka’s visual works examine the consequences of the Holocaust on urban topography and non-urban landscape. In conversation with YIVO Director Jonathan Brent, Janicka will discuss, among other works, a photographic project titled Herbarium that she has been pursuing for 15 years within the area of Treblinka II.
