The Auschwitz Photographer by Luca Crippa
An intimate, wrenching account of a young Polish prisoner forced by the SS to photograph tens of thousands of Auschwitz inmates — identity files, medical records and portraits that captured both faces and atrocities — this book uses his testimony and surviving images to explore the moral burden of creating those records, the mechanics and purposes of Nazi documentation, the fates of many of the people portrayed, and the photographer’s lifelong trauma and duty to memory.
