The act alone could have been construed as criminal. The subjects may have wanted nothing more than a keepsake for family and friends. Or they might have needed the images for false identification papers.<\/p>\n<p>Wolff never spoke of her wartime activities, nor of the hundreds of images she took during 10 months in 1943. She died in 2008, more than a decade before a Dutch photo historian named Simon B. Kool unearthed the rolls of film in the attic of Wolff&#8217;s heir, Monica Kaltenschnee.<\/p>\n<p>The photographer&#8217;s own life had been tragically upended by the Nazis. She&#8217;d fled Germany with her Jewish husband, Helmuth, when Hitler rose to power in 1933. The couple settled in Amsterdam, opened a photo studio and founded a photography magazine. Then in 1940, the once-unimaginable happened: the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. The couple made a suicide pact.<\/p>\n<p>Only Annemie would survive to continue their work \u2013 to take the long-forgotten portraits that will come to UMW Galleries this week. Kool&#8217;s 2008 discovery was only the beginning. Historians and researchers An Huitzing and Tamara Becker have since identified many of those photographed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw the yellow stars and I wanted to know what had happened to those people,\u201d Kool told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/wartime-mystery-on-display-with-new-portrait-trove-of-dutch-jews\/\">Times of Israel in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88177\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88177\" style=\"width: 223px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88177\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/04\/04\/umw-galleries-exhibits-lost-stories-of-wartime-jewish-portraits\/walter-liffmann-66-18\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"523,703\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Walter Liffmann (66-18)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo of Walter Liffmann, 1943 by Annemie Wolff copyright symbol Monica Kaltenschnee, The Netherlands&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18-223x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-88177\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Walter Liffmann, 1943 by Annemie Wolff copyright symbol Monica Kaltenschnee, The Netherlands\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18-223x300.jpg 223w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18-446x600.jpg 446w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/04\/Walter-Liffmann-66-18.jpg 523w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-88177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Walter Liffmann, 1943 by Annemie Wolff copyright symbol Monica Kaltenschnee, The Netherlands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>About half went on to survive the war \u2013 shockingly good odds in a country where more than three-quarters of the Jewish population perished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor those who lived, this photo is a moment in time. For the others, it\u2019s their last trace on earth,\u201d Jacqueline Shelton, whose father&#8217;s photograph was among those found on the film, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/wartime-mystery-on-display-with-new-portrait-trove-of-dutch-jews\/\">The Times of Israel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His was a story of survival. Four months after he sat for a series of photographs, arms crossed, cigarette in mouth, he escaped to France with a group of other young Jewish men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe sold everything, procured false ID papers and went underground,\u201d Shelton told UMW. His life depended on it.<\/p>\n<p>He came to the U.S. in 1947, the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust. He changed his name to George Shelton, married and made a life. He died in 2002. It was George&#8217;s daughter, Jacqueline Shelton, who would be instrumental in bringing 26 of Wolff&#8217;s portraits, including his, to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday marks the first time <em>Lost Stories, Found Images<\/em> will be on display on the East Coast, said Rosemary Jesionowski, UMW photography professor and gallery specialist who has worked closely with Shelton to bring the exhibition here.<\/p>\n<p>More than two years in the making, it is the work of the San Francisco-based Jewish Community Federation and the Amsterdam-based Wolff Foundation, and a host of people and departments from UMW: Jesionowski, German Professor Marcel Rotter, Psychology Professor David Rettinger, Executive Director of Development Zach Hatcher, the Department of Art and Art History, and the Jewish Student Association.<\/p>\n<p>A screening of <em>Last Portraits<\/em>, a documentary, will follow the opening reception at 7 p.m. in Pollard 304. Author Armin Langer will give an affiliated talk Monday, April 9 at 4 p.m. in Combs Hall, Room 139. Shelton plans to visit UMW in May.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis isn\u2019t exclusively an art exhibition. It\u2019s also about history. It&#8217;s about religion. It&#8217;s about sociology and it&#8217;s about photography,\u201d Jesionowski said.<\/p>\n<p>It is a snapshot of an extraordinary moment in history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are in a room surrounded by these life-size portraits, it is if they are looking at you. It creates a relationship,\u201d Shelton said. And that feeling lingers, long after the exhibit is over.<\/p>\n<p>Like Annemie Wolff\u2019s photographs and the stories they tell, it lives on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her name was Barbara.
