Summary/Abstract: Szymański analyses the photographic representation of trauma in two German photobooks dedicated to the visual traces of the Great War: Ernst Friedrich’s anti-war volume Krieg dem Kriege (1924) and George Soldan’s pro-war Der Weltkrieg im Bild (1926). Having discussed the two books in the context of theory and history of photography (Roland Barthes, Patrizia Di Bello, Georges Didi-Huberman, Susan Sontag), Szymański shows how the medium of photography was used in the period after WWI to produce the effect of trauma.
