A review by smorrison4
The Photographer of Mauthausen by Salva Rubio, Pedro Columbo

5.0

To say this is a beautiful book seems wrong because of the content, but this book is beautiful. This is the story of Francisco Boix and how he saved thousands of negatives during his time at Mauthausen to prove the horrible things the Nazis were doing to the prisoners.

The illustrations in this book were accurate and haunting. I thought the use of somber, darker colors lent the illustrations an air of realism.

One can only hope that we learn from these atrocities and that we don't allow this to happen again.

Thank you NetGalley for the DRC.
