GERDA TARO (1910–1937)

A FIN QUE PERSONNE N'OUBLIE TA LUTTE
INCONDITIONNELLE POUR UNE MONDE MEILLEUR'

('So that no one forgets your non-conditional struggle for a better world')

Yes, although that better world seems increasingly unattainable. Gerda Taro is most noted for her photo-journalism, particularly during the Spanish Civil War. She was the photographer Robert Capa's partner. Her grave was designed by the sculptor Alberto Giacometti.
