Margaret Bourke-White Fun Facts:
Bourke-White did the first cover of Life magazine. When Russia closed its borders, she managed to get in and photograph the rise of industry. She was aggressive and relentless and was in the right place at the right time, which led to great photographs.
The photo shown above was taken in Auschwitz during WWII. She took these photographs because it was a way for her to see what was happening without seeing it with her naked eye, because this was too terrible for her to see.
"Using the camera was almost a relief; it interposed a slight barrier between myself and the white horror in front of me." -Margaret Bourke White
