Sam Presser: With Heart in the Lens

The Jewish Historical Museum is presenting a retrospective of Sam Presser (1917-1986) who specialised in documenting the daily life of regular people in the Netherlands. The archive is made up of over half a million negatives that essentially document a large portion of the last century by 'being at the right place, at the right time'. His most famous photos are perhaps those he made as a Jewish fugitive during World War II.
