IN Nazi-occupied Europe the act of taking a photograph was to risk life itself.
Photography and Resistance: Securing the Evidence in Nazi-Occupied Europe begins with two striking images taken from inside a building in Drohobycz, then part of Poland and today Drohobych in Ukraine. They show the execution of five civilians by a Nazi firing squad.
The first image shows individuals being led to the execution site by armed German soldiers, the second shows a firing squad pointing their weapons at the wall directly below where the photographer was standing. Adam Paszulka, a local resident, took the clandestine pictures from his kitchen window.
