Summary of Luca Crippa & Maurizio Onnis's The Auschwitz Photographer

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The photographer, Tadek Brasse, was tasked with taking pictures of only those prisoners who looked presentable. He did not want beaten-up faces, black eyes, or broken bones. He did not want suffering prisoners.

#2 The kapo of the photography studio, Franz Maltz, entered the room. He was a German, and he did not understand the first thing about photography. He could do nothing beyond producing a few copies in the darkroom.

#3 The two kapos’ hilarity increased the more the old man cried out in pain. They didn’t stop to catch their breath for several minutes. Maltz left them to joke with the other prisoners, knowing full well that they didn’t have money to spend.

#4 On the day they sent him to the Political Department, Brasse noticed that four other prisoners were also looking for the building. They were all from different countries and had been photographers. They were sent to different rooms, and not allowed to talk to one another.
