Gerda Taro (in Spain, July 1937)

Biography

German war photographer, and the companion and professional partner of photographer Robert Capa. Taro is regarded as the first female photojournalist to cover the front lines of a war and to die while doing so.

During her coverage of the Republican army retreat at the Battle of Brunete, Taro hopped onto the footboard of a car that was carrying wounded soldiers when a Republican tank crashed into its side. Taro suffered critical wounds and died the next day, 26 July 1937, at El Escorial, Madrid, Spain.

August meldete die Hebamme Maria Bucher auf dem Stuttgarter Standesamt, daß »am 1 . August 1910, nachmittags um zwölfeinhalb Uhr, ein Mädchen geboren worden sei und daß das Kind seinen Vornamen noch nicht erhalten habe...«"
