Abstract
Forced-labor camps, known as "lagers", belong to the Soviet
landscape. Those situated in the Siberian mining region of
Vorkuta have a particularly terrible reputation. Some Polish
convicts from Vorkuta who managed to survive until the amnesty
of 1955 and to return to Poland, kept amateur photographs of the
landscape and the people in their private archives. Panoramic
photo's and graveyard pictures.
