"It wasn't even a matter of what I was photographing, as what had happened to me in the process. When I discovered that I could look at the horror of Belsen - 4000 dead and starving lying around - and think only of a nice photographic composition, I knew something had happened to me and I had to stop. I felt I was like the people running the camp - it didn't mean a thing" - George Rodger in "Dialogue with photography", Dewi Lewis Publishing
"Nem sequer era a questão do que fotografava mas do que tinha acontecido comigo. Quando descobri que podia olhar para os horrores de Belsen - 4000 mortes e esfomeados à minha volta - e pensar apenas numa boa composição fotográfica, soube que algo de mau me tinha acontecido e tinha de parar. Senti-me como as pessoas que dirigiam o campo, aquilo não significava nada" - George Rodger in "Dialogue with photography", Dewi Lewis Publishing
