A photographer's search for his mother in Nazi concentration campsAs a war correspondent, Schwab follows the Allied troops as they advance, becoming a witness to the horrors. As a war correspondent, he follows the Allied troops as they advance, becoming a witness to the horrors discovered as the forces progressively liberate the German death camps. At Dachau, another concentration camp, Schwab takes portraits that lay bare the inhumanity suffered. After the war, Eric Schwab and his mother leave France, settling in New York in 1946. Photographic evidence of the concentration camp horrors was widely disseminated as early as 1945, but Schwab's work did not earn him the renown of some of the other photographers.
