The Photographer of Mauthausen

The Photographer of Mauthausen (2018) is a biographical drama film that tells the true story of Spanish Civil War veteran Francisco Boix, played by Mario Casas, who risked his life while imprisoned in the Nazi German concentration camp of Mauthausen-Gusen to preserve and hide photographs of the atrocities committed there. With the help of fellow prisoners, Boix hid thousands of negatives, which he later used as evidence during the Nuremberg Trials. This courageous act not only documented the horrors of the Holocaust but also served as a powerful testament to the resilience of those who survived such unimaginable conditions.
