Les resistants de Mauthausen

On January 28, 1946, a 25-year-old Spaniard, Francisco Boix, took the stand at the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg. To support his account of his detention in the Mauthausen concentration camp, the young man brought visual evidence: photographs taken by the SS, which document the construction of the camp. But how did these images get to Nuremberg? Deported to Mauthausen in January 1941, Francisco Boix escaped the hell of the granite quarries thanks to his skills as a photographer. Assigned to the camp's identification service, he developed and classified the SS's photographs. Aware that he had the proof of the atrocities committed and the identity of the executioners on film, Boix had the negatives exfiltrated to communicate them to the Soviets.
