in the case of forced laborers it is possible to divide the documents into institutional and non-institutional categories. The institutional documents were held by German Labor Offices and police authorities in the form of portrait photographs of identification (its characteristics discussed in the section in the document Arbeitsbuch) in identity documents and employment documents. The second category is an iconography of the “victims” – those photos document the daily life of forced workers, done mostly by German employers, supervisors, etc. Pictures made by “victims” were the exceptions because the forced laborers rarely had cameras during their deportation to Germany.
