Nicolas Muller was born in Hungary in 1913, but as a Jewish man, he was forced to flee his home country as the Nazis grew in power. From Hungary to Paris to Portugal to Tangier, the photographer finally found a home in Spain, which was under a dictatorship at the time. He was a witness to a difficult period of Europe's history, and his photography expresses as much, capturing the souls of those who lived through the times. The San Fernando Fine Arts Royal Academy in Madrid has a collection of his photographs in its custody, photographs on exhibition until March. In today's broadcast, we talk to Member of the Academy and National Photography Award Winner, Isabel Muñoz, about the life of the photographer and the legacy he left behind.
