Riassunto

A history in photographs tells the story of the holocaust that is so often forgotten - that of the individuals, their increasing poverty, sad wisdom and enduring love in the years leading up to the Second World War. The almost unbearable poignancy of the knowledge of what followed on from these pictures of Jewish life in 1930s Germany makes this an immensely powerful account.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Roman Vishniac was living in Germany with the knowledge that Hitler had made it his mission to exterminate all Jews. Unable to save his people, he committed himself to saving their memory.

Of the 16,000 photographs that Vishniac took, all but 2,000 were confiscated. He was also thrown into prison for his photographic activities.
