“Radogoszcz Station from which ghetto Jews were transported to concentration camps, was situated outside the boundaries of Lodz Ghetto. The right of entry was only for workers at the station. I stole into the station with a group of railway workers. I was locked in a store room from where I was able to, through the hole in the wood, photograph this deportation [1944],” - Henryk Ross
