Book Reviews of ALBUM OF THE DAMNED: SNAPSHOTS FROM THE THIRD REICH
Book Review: Album of the Damned
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion, Album of the Damned, is one of those benchmark books. There are thousands of books that deal with the subject of WWII and Nazi Germany. We always see tanks and airplanes and official pictures of the various political and military leaders. But the author of this book gives us a very different and you could say haunting perspective by putting us face to face with individual Third Reich Germans. Faces that looked too much like the ones we see in the mirror.
Very obviously the author, apparently a professional photographer as well as a longtime journalist, has very carefully selected photos both for their historic value and also because they could stand alone as powerful photographs thanks to the composition, lighting, etc.
Album of the Damned is a lesson well-learned, you could say one better learned. I found it's best to ponder the images rather than flip through the pages. Also, read the words. It's way more than a "photo book." Obviously some serious research went into it to add depth to the photos. Buy it for someone who doesn't know much about history. Or someone that does. Buy and it give to your kid's history teacher, your local library, somewhere that other people can see it. Ultimately I see Album of the Damned as a teaching tool. It leaves you with what they call indelible images that bring me back to my copy to look at again and again.
