Hannah Altman: Ground Glass — History Through a Nazi-Era Lens

Hannah Altman's Ground Glass traces the story of Lore Sternfeld, a 27-year-old Jewish woman who worked as a precision mechanic for Astro-Berlin in wartime Berlin before being deported and killed at Auschwitz in January 1943. Astro-Berlin's lenses were used in Nazi propaganda films, and Altman builds the project around that intersection of craft, complicity, and erasure.
