Description from the seller
This small but important book, consisting of only 32 pages and 44 shocking photographs, was distributed in Germany by the American War Information Unit at the end of World War II to convey to the civilian population the enormity of the crimes committed by the Nazis in the name of the German people. Thus, this book, which is not much more than a pamphlet, may represent the single most significant use of photography as a witness in the medium's history. The book shows, with a terse accompanying commentary, images from five of the concentration camps liberated by the Allies in 1945—Buchenwald, Belsen, Gardelegen, Nordhausen, and Ohrdruf.
Parr/Badger, The Photobook: A History Vol. I
Arguably one of the most important photo publications ever. Original printing from 1945 in good condition, see photos. The cover has a tear on the spine and the staples are rusty, but overall the quality is better than most copies of this publication.
