Unknown rolls of film discovered by Olivier Rempher
Theme
In-Venue
Rolls of film discovered on top of a trash can in south-eastern France in 1999 by teenager Olivier Rempher, were later verified by his photographer father, Alain Rempher, to be authentic photographs taken in and around Oflag VII-A Murnau. This German prisoner-of-war camp for Polish Army officers during World War II was located near the Bavarian town of Murnau am Staffelsee at the foot of the Alps. These unexpected images include drama and puppetry in the Offizerslager, the camp’s liberation by the U.S. 12th Armoured Division in April 1945 and a bombed-out Munich.
