For many years, Bertold Brecht collected newspaper photographs from World War Two and wrote poems to accompaign them. He gathered all this in one of his most achieved works first published in 1955 in East Berlin.This book is the first French full version of Brecht’s book. By appropriating all those precious historic archives, the artist created an essential work to give an accurate and vivid understanding of The Second World War.
