Last Portraits (2015)

In the legacy of the forgotten photographer Annemie Wolff a remarkable collection of portraits was discovered. Hundreds of fellow residents of Amsterdam South, many of them wearing the Star of David, photographed in 1943, the last year of the large-scale round-ups. Now, seventy years later, these photos are of great emotional value for survivors and relatives, and of historical importance for our perception of the Holocaust.
Annemie Wolff placed her damaged life in the service of the persecuted and not only through photography. When Hitler was defeated and Amsterdam liberated, she returned to her pre-war photographic career. For another twenty years she was to produce her best work in the Amsterdam port: exhilaratingly optimistic, full of wide horizons and vistas. She never talked about the war again, but the photos tell her story.
