 Volume 20 of the Rijksmuseum Studies in Photography is devoted to a special collection of family photographs. Based on these, Claartje Wesselink tells the tragic story of the Jewish Wachenheimer family in the turbulent twentieth century. Only Isabel Wachenheimer was to survive World War II. The family archive, which came out of the war unscathed, testifies to her trauma and gives an insight into the way she endeavoured to process that trauma.
