His inability to condone the Third Reich and swear allegiance to Hitler landed him at one of the deadliest concentration camps of WWII. There, he was forced to record the camp's atrocities. From 1940-1945, Brasse took more than 50,000 photos of the nightmare that surrounded him. Brasse's role earned him Nazi favor, but he couldn't bear to hide behind his camera. He resisted, faking documents for prisoners and smuggling photos to the outside world. When the war ended, he refused orders to destroy his records. Many of the people that appeared in Brasse's photos perished, but he wouldn't discard the memories of who they were. A hauntingly true story of a man who made sure the world couldn't turn a blind eye to the Holocaust, The Auschwitz Photographer honors Wilhelm Brasse, the photographer who immortalized the horrific atrocities we should, and must, never forget"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5318 Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Biography   B Brasse Cr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5318 Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Biography B Brasse Cr   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
