It is not known how many pictures were taken of the deportation from Wiesbaden. Researchers are currently aware of 38 photos that have survived as negatives, but cannot be found. They show mostly elderly people waiting for "registration" in the courtyard of the synagogue at Friedrichstraße 33 that the Gestapo was using as an assembly camp, the overcrowded prayer room, and the departure of more than 350 people from the cattle loading ramp at Wiesbaden's main train station that belonged to the slaughterhouse. The pictures were taken on August 29 and September 1, 1942, possibly also on the days in between. Apart from the deportees, you can see numerous not yet identified perpetrators as well as Jewish helpers caring for the people in the assembly camp.

The Wiesbaden deportation series became known to the public in the 1980s when some of the pictures from the collection of photographer and photo lab assistant Richard Rudolph were used for an exhibition in the town hall. After the exhibition, sets of pictures containing different numbers of photos and different selections of motifs kept finding their way into various archives abroad as a result of survivors having purchased the pictures in Richard Rudolph’s store. In 1998, the whole series was used for the first time for the design of a mobile commemorative container. The entire "Foto Rudolph" collection has been in the Hessische Hauptstaatsarchiv (Hessian Main State Archive) since 2011. However, the negative films have been lost, and a complete collection of high-resolution digital copies or prints no longer exists.
