While most Jaeger's photographs focus
on the glory and triumphalism of the Reich,
here he has chosen instead to capture
the misery of the conquered people instead
With their clean clothes and hair neatly
coiffured, these three young women do not,
at first glance, appear anything
like Jaeger's other subjects. But look closer
and you find a star of David on the coat of the girl on the left
Makeshift dwelling: Jewish inhabitants
of the Kutno Ghetto stand near a car
which has been converted into a makeshift house in early 1940
Despite the awfulness of her predicament,
this Jewish woman manages to smile brightly
for the camera as she poses for Jaeger
