Photography and Resistance tells the stories of the people who resisted fascism in Europe by taking or securing photographs.

It complements Janina Struk's ground-breaking 2004 book Photographing the Holocaust, which has become a standard text on images of the Holocaust. Now she focuses on images taken at enormous risk by those resisting the Nazis, whether political activists or volunteers in underground networks, workers in photographic studios or public institutions, prisoners in the concentration camps, professional photographers, or individuals - all of whom believed in photography as a form of resistance. It includes images never seen before, and accounts of actions and heroism barely reported in the past. Many images were clandestinely taken, and the book discusses the means photographers employed and the motivation that compelled them to risk their lives to compile the evidence. The book also questions whether the importance of their contribution to the defeat of fascism has been recognized and whether the aspirations that drove them have been realized.
