Reviews

Through Amateur Eyes is a creative study of amateur photographs in the Nazi era. Full of insightful analysis and broad, interdisciplinary reading, Frances Guerin demonstrates the instability of images, showing how even photographs taken with the perpetrators' eyes and cameras can teach us much about the lives of the Third Reich's victims. --Eric D. Weitz, author of Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy
