Professional photographer Wilhelm Brasse is deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau and finds himself in a deadly race to survive, assigned to work as the camp's intake photographer and take \"identity pictures\" of prisoners as they arrive by the trainload. Brasse soon discovers his photography skills are in demand from Nazi guards as well, who ask him to take personal portraits for them to send to their families and girlfriends. Behind the camera, Brasse is safe from the terrible fate that so many of his fellow prisoners meet. But over the course of five years, the horrifying scenes his lens capture, including inhumane medical \"experiments\" led by Josef Mengele, change Brasse forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the true story of Wilhelm Brasse, \u003cem\u003eThe Auschwitz Photographer\u003c\/em\u003e is a stark black-and-white reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust.
