Taro (real name Gerta Pohorylle) was a Jewish German anti-fascist photographer known for her documentation of the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1937. After escaping Germany in 1934, she became the assistant of Jewish Hungarian photojournalist Endre Friedmann; Taro sold her photographs to American publishers alongside Friedmann's as the work of their combined alter ego Robert Capa. Eventually she began to publish photos under her own pseudonym, while Capa retained their original alias for himself. In 1938, Capa published the photobook Death in the Making, now considered an essential primary document of the era, which included several of Taro's photographs without accreditation. Many images originally attributed to Capa were later determined to be Taro's. Working alongside Capa and David "Chim" Seymour, Taro produced some of the most groundbreaking combat photography in history and revolutionized war photojournalism, with Taro being noted in particular for her dynamic camera angles. She died on July 26, 1937 after being struck accidentally by a tank. On August 1st, hundreds of people attended her funeral in Paris on what would have been her 27th birthday.
