A rare collection of photographs from the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw during World War II will be displayed at The Lovett School in Buckhead from March 17 to April 30.

“In the Ghetto of Warsaw: Heinrich Jöst’s Photographs,” will show images taken by Jöst, a sergeant in the German army who became curious about corpses he saw lying along the ghetto walls.

The exhibit will be open to the public, and Holocaust survivor Norbert Friedman will share his stories on April 24.
