Excerpt: Wilhelm Brasse (born 3 December 1917) is a Polish man who became known as the "famous photographer of Auschwitz"; his life and work are the subject of the 2005 Polish television documentary film The Portraitist (Potrecista), which first aired in the "Proud to Present" series on the Polish TVP1 on January 1, 2006.
