L'alemany de la botiga de fotos

Esporles, Majorca. June 1940. The day the photo store "Foto Esporles" closed its doors for good, Francesca "Rosseta" could not suspect that she would never see her neighbor, the photographer Leo Israel Frischer, again. Leo was part of the large group of European Jews who, fleeing Nazism, arrived in Mallorca in the 1930s. Although they were able to enjoy relative tranquility at first, in June 1940 most of them were ordered expelled from Spain. These people, stripped of their nationality, without papers and in many cases without economic resources, will have to flee to "nowhere" through a Europe at war.

In "The German in the photo store" we will accompany Leo Frischer in his desperate escape. He will be the guiding thread of our story: we will travel from Hamburg to Tangier, from Esporles to the concentration camp of Miranda de Ebro and Wales.... On the way we will approach the social, legal and personal reality of the Jewish refugees in Mallorca during the years of the Second World War.
