A powerful photographic chronicle capturing the devastation of World War II and the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime. Published shortly after the war, the book compiles stark black-and-white photographs that document the horrors experienced across Europe, particularly focusing on concentration camps, ruined cities, and the suffering of civilians. Van de Poll, a Dutch photographer and war correspondent, used his lens to bear witness to the brutality and aftermath of Nazi occupation. His images are raw, unflinching, and emotionally charged, offering a visual testimony that speaks louder than words. The production serves not only as a historical record but also as a moral reminder of the consequences of hatred, authoritarianism, and war. Through its haunting imagery, the book compels readers to confront the past and recognise the human cost of fascism. It remains a significant contribution to war photography and Holocaust remembrance.
