Summary

This account documents the work of Gerda Taro, one of history's most noteworthy war photographers, and the first female war photographer to die in action. It reflecting on the past of the woman born Gerta Pohorylle: her escape as a German Jew from the Nazi party, her introduction to Robert Capa, and her adoption of an alias. Vividly capturing the extraordinary figures she knew and lived with—from Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn to Louis Aragon—this record also highlights her assertion of political, sexual, and personal liberties, and demonstrates how her steadfast courage and eventual death made her a martyr of the antifascist movement.
