In 2007, the Höcker album surfaced the only known album of photographs showing the everyday life and leisure of Nazis who worked at Auschwitz. Based on these photographs, Annette Behrens researched the life and person of the albums owner, SS officer Karl-Friedrich Höcker, adjutant to the last commandant of Auschwitz, Richard Baer. The images, taken at a popular holiday cottage, show high-ranking officers and auxiliary personnel, who are depicted living a normal life, detached from their horrendous crimes. Behrens investigates how events that were long suppressed or deemed forgotten can resurface in collective memory, raising disconcerting questions.

Paperback. Condition: Near fine in wraps. First Edition. 21 x 30cm 128pp near fine paperback with colour plus black and white reproductions. (in matters of) Karl is a research project about the H?cker Album. The H?cker Album is the private photo-album of SS First Lieutenant Karl H?cker. The album gives a unique insight in the conditions and ways of leisure of the Nazis, who were working at Auschwitz during WW2. Most of these photographs were taken around the so called Solah tte, only 30 km from Auschwitz. In 2008 Annette Behrens travelled to the Solah tte, and found this still intact and used as a holiday home for tourist, with no reference to the historic background. In the next years Annette Behrens tried to reconstruct the history of Karl H?cker and the Solah tte, using archives in Poland, Germany and the United States. (In matters of) Karl has over the years shifted into a project which questions the stage of the reproduced image, as well as the image as a form of evidence. Seller Inventory # 27024
