Frederike Helwig: Kriegskinder

Portraits of a Forgotten Generation

Edited by Anne Waak. Text by Alexandra Senfft.

Kriegskinder presents 45 haunting present-day portraits by German photographer Frederike Helwig (born 1968) of those who grew up during World War II. Each of her photographs is accompanied by a childhood eyewitness account, offering a portrait of a generation whose memories will soon disappear with them.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

BBC

Fiona Macdonald

How the children of Nazi Germany remember World War Two: The memories have the patina of childhood: fragmented, vivid, without resolution. They place us, as readers, immediately there. And next to them, portraits of the elderly people whose childhoods we’re glimpsing. These are the Kriegskinder, or ‘war children’: so-called because they grew up in Nazi Germany during World War Two.

The British Journal of Photography

Diane Smyth

Long-silent eyewitnesses, the Kriegskinder are the last generation to remember WW2 - but their trauma has been passed on to future generations, finds this chilling new book.
