The Photographer of Mauthausen by Pedro Columbo, Salva Rubio

5.0

A graphic novel accounting of the wartime life of Francisco Boix, who was imprisoned at the Mauthausen concentration camp. Boix became the "photographic assistant" of an SS Officer at the camp and in doing so, managed to smuggle 20,000 negatives documenting both the atrocities and the visits of officers who would later claim to "know nothing." His photographs and testimony at the Nuremburg and Dachau trials would go on to be used as evidence to convict dozens. This graphic novel documents both his and those whose assistance he required to successfully get the negatives out bravery.
