Images in Spite of All by Georges Didi-Huberman
Of one-and-a-half million photographs related to Nazi concentration camps, only four depict the actual process of mass killing perpetrated at the gas chambers. This book reveals that these photos of Auschwitz, taken clandestinely by one of the Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities there, were made as a potent act of resistance.
"Images in Spite of All provides the carefully extended anguished engagement, both epitaph and caption, that the subject demands" (William T. Vollman, Bookforum)"
