Ein Chronist in der Weimarer Republik

People on trial was a popular topic for pressmen of the Weimar Republic: poverty-driven petty thefts, high-ranking Nazis, spectacular murder cases or art forgeries with prominent figures on the witness stand. Leo Rosenthal was a 1920s court reporter and photographer for Berlin newspapers, he escaped the Nazis and began a second career as a photographer at the United Nations in New York. This book presents Rosenthal’s court photographs from the Weimar era for the first time.
