MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 19, 1933: Nazis arrested Jewish antifascist photographer Gerda Taro and interrogated her about a supposed communist plot to overthrow Hitler. She had previously been arrested for distributing anti-fascist literature. The Nazis eventually let her go and she fled to France, and then Yugoslavia. She died at the age of 26, photo-documenting the Spanish Republican war against Franco and the fascists. Some said that she was responsible, along with Robert Capa, of inventing the genre of war photography. Capa was actually the nom de guerre of Taro’s lover, Endre Friedmann, a Hungarian Jew who taught her the art of photography and who later went on to found Magnum Photos, along with French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. “Capa” was Friedmann’s street name, back in Hungary. It meant “shark.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/worldwartwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>worldwartwo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hitler" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hitler</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>nazi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>holocaust</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photojournalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photojournalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gerdataro" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gerdataro</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/robertcapa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>robertcapa</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History September 5, 1936: Photographer Robert Capa captured the death of 24-year-old anarchist Federico &quot;Taino&quot; Borrell in the iconic photo The Falling Soldier. Borell was an antifascist fighter, killed during the Spanish Civil War. Capa is considered by many to be the greatest war photojournalist ever. He was the only civilian photographer who landed on Omaha Beach during D-Day. He co-founded Magnum Photos collective, which included David &quot;Chim&quot; Seymour, Maria Eisner, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, William Vandivert, and Rita Vandivert. He died after stepping on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/spanish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spanish</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/spain" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spain</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CivilWar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antifascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>antifascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>anarchism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/republican" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>republican</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/robertcapa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>robertcapa</span></a></p>
