Photographer Ingeborg Morath was born in Austria in 1923. When the Second World War broke out, Inge, who at that time was a student at the University of Berlin, refused to join the "Hitler Youth", and then she was sent to an aircraft factory, where she worked shoulder to shoulder with Soviet prisoners of war. When the factory began to be bombed by Soviet bombers, Inge fled to her homeland in Austria.
