The Nazis asked him to swear allegiance to Hitler, betraying his
country, his friends, and everything he believed in. He refused.
Poland, 1939. Professional photographer Wilhelm Brasse is deported
to Auschwitz-Birkenau and finds himself in a deadly race to
survive, assigned to work as the camp's intake photographer and
take "identity pictures" of prisoners as they arrive by the
trainload. Brasse soon discovers his photography skills are in
demand from Nazi guards as well, who ask him to take personal
portraits for them to send to their families and girlfriends.
Behind the camera, Brasse is safe from the terrible fate that so
many of his fellow prisoners meet. But over the course of five
years, the horrifying scenes his lens capture, including inhumane
medical "experiments" led by Josef Mengele, change Brasse forever.
Based on the true story of Wilhelm Brasse, The Auschwitz
Photographer is a stark black-and-white reminder of the horrors of
the Holocaust. This gripping work of World War II narrative
nonfiction takes readers behind the barbed wire fences of the
world's most feared concentration camp, bringing Brasse's story to
life as he clicks the shutter button thousands of times before
ultimately joining the Resistance, defying the Nazis, and defiantly
setting down his camera for good.
