  • 1945 - ICONS OF A YEAR by Lothar Schirmer
The year 1945 is without equal in the history of the
20th century. It is the year that marked the end of
the Second World War and with it the "Third Reich."
The liberation of Germany and Europe from the
murderous grip of National Socialism and fascism also
set the stage for a new world order.
The historical milestones of the year--from the liberation
of the Nazi concentration camps to Hiroshima
and Nagasaki and the start of the Nuremberg Trials--
were captured by the world's most prominent photojournalists
and photographers, most prominently
Margaret Bourke-White, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert
Capa, Jewgeni Chaldej, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Lee Miller,
Georgi Petrussow, George Rodger, and August Sander.
1945 - Icons of a Year is a compilation of 108 famous,
at times shocking, photographs of the events of these
turbulent months in world affairs.
