Annemie Wolff, also known as Annemie Wolff-Koller (1906 Laufen, Germany - 2 February 1994 Amsterdam), was a German-Dutch photographer. Her 1943 photos of Jewish children and adults, taken in Amsterdam, were rediscovered in 2006 by Dutch photo historian Simon Kool. About 434 photos were taken, and about 215 of the subjects have been identified as of early 2015. Some of the photos' subjects survived World War II, while others perished in the Nazi concentration camps. An exhibit of Wolff's photos opened on 26 February 2015 at the San Francisco Goethe Institute, co-sponsored by the Annemie and Helmuth Foundation, and the San Francisco Jewish Community Federation.〔(Dan Pine, "Haunting Pre-War Photos from Amsterdam on Display in SF", ''J Weekly'' (February 26, 2015) )〕 ==Biography== In 1933, Annemie Wolff and her husband, Jewish architect Helmuth Wolff, left Munich, Germany, and moved to Amsterdam. They opened a photography studio in the "Rivierenbuurt", an area of south Amsterdam where many German refugees settled. They founded photography magazine Kleinbeeldfoto, released several international photo stories and in 1939 organized an exhibit with pictures taken by subscribers to the magazine. Prince Bernhard was among the subscribers, presenting pictures of baby Princess Beatrix, later Queen of the Netherlands. Their main photography assignments came from the Amsterdam Port Authority and Schiphol Airport. In May 1940, upon the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands, they attempted to carry out a suicide pact; Helmuth died but Annemie survived. In 1943, she continued her portrait work in her studio. After the war she produced publicity photographs for the Amsterdam harbor and other clients. Later research by Dutch photo historian Simon Kool revealed that Annemie was a member of the Dutch resistance group 'De ondergedoken Camera'. In her later years, however, she rarely spoke about her work during the war period.〔(Annemie and Helmuth Wolff Foundation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annemie Wolff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
