NEXT LECTURE

LEE MILLER'S WAR

Photojournalism

of a combat war

by Antony Penrose

​

Please join us for the next lecture in the series​

Lee Miller, believed to be the only woman combat photographer with Allied infantry in Europe, documented the Second World War from D-Day to its aftermath. This lecture traces her journey through Normandy, St Malo, Paris, Germany, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Hitler’s Berghof, before covering post-war Austria and Hungary. Her story is told through her own words alongside the powerful photographs that captured both liberation and trauma.
