Photos
Joe J. Heydecker a German author and journalist served with PK689. Using a Kine Exakta camera he recorded many of the scenes which he saw during the war, including a series of 42 photographs from the Warsaw Ghetto taken between 11/11/1941 and 16/04/1942. He continued to take photographs in spite of the prohibition issued by General Woehler in 1941 against independent photographers. His pictures from the Warsaw Ghetto were published in the book Das Warschauer Ghetto, (Muenchen: Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag, 1983) and appeared in English as The Warsaw Ghetto : a photographic record, 1941-1944 (London : I.B. Tauris, c1990).
