“These images were taken in Occupied Paris during WWII by André Zucca for Nazi German propaganda magazine Signal using rare Agfacolor film supplied by the Wehrmacht. Zucca was arrested after the 1944 liberation but never prosecuted. He worked until his death in 1976 under an assumed name”
When exhibited in Paris in 2008, Bertrand Delanoë, Mayor of Paris, ordered a notice to accompany the images stating that the pictures avoid the “reality of occupation and its tragic aspects”

Ces photos sont absolument magnifiques ! La couleur apporte une nouvelle perspective et donne chair aux personnes, c’est ultra émouvant ! Un grand merci !
This is a phenomenal set of photos. Remarkable historical documentation.
A glimpse of the horror behind the photos- the woman branded with the yellow star bearing the word “Juif”
Paris will always be Paris.
Maravillosas fotografías de una época tan trágica.
