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.
