Salomon, Erich

    0.06 sec.

Salomon, Erich

(born April 28, 1886, Berlin, Ger.—died July 7, 1944, Auschwitz, Pol.) German photographer. He studied law at the University of Munich but soon abandoned his practice to pioneer in photojournalism. He specialized in photographing heads of state in unguarded moments at international conferences and social gatherings. His purpose was to show the human qualities of world leaders, who up to that time had been stereotyped in stiff formal portraits. In May 1944 he was sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz, where he died.
