The series consists of twelve original prints in the format 4x6. Four photos show the Jews gathering with their luggage in the “Schießwerder’s” beer garden in dry weather. Two other photos documenting people’s arrival on the site probably were taken by Albert Hadda on November 21, 1941. He took the pictures from close, shielded by vehicles and buildings. The forecourt in sleet is depicted in six pictures: piles of luggage are lying there or being loaded onto vehicles. In the background of the picture, a crowd of people can be discerned. They were photographed secretly, from the loading area of a vehicle. It is probable that these photos were taken on one of the following days and document how the luggage was loaded for the transport to Odertor station.

The twelve pictures and another one documenting the deportation in April 1942 have been preserved in the archives of the “Landesverband Sachsen” (Saxony’s land association) of the Jewish communities in Dresden and discovered in 2023. The original prints were kept in an envelope labeled “Miscellaneous”. It is most probable that the thirteen photos found their way to Erfurt with a group of survivors from Breslau, among them Albert Hadda, in late summer 1945. How they came to Dresden has not finally been clarified. Either Werner Sander handed them in, or they were taken to Dresden as a result of the move of the association of Jewish communities in the GDR in 1962. After 1950, the Ghetto Fighters’ House Memorial in Israel received seven negatives probably photographed by Helmut Eschwege.
