Mr. Kannegie\u00dfer was one of the first war survivors I photographed from Dresden.<\/p>\n<p>He became a good friend and I&#8217;ll miss him. I can&#8217;t thank him enough for his honesty.<br \/>\nHe taught me a lot about Dresden, not only about the firebombings that destroyed the city. He emphasized the years prior and brought me to places like the former location of Hellerberg Camp which was a labor camp in Dresden where Jewish families were forced to live prior to being deported. It was places like this which have been swept over by the waves of time and a blind eye to the ugliness of history that Mr. Kannegie\u00dfer emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know many who handled a tough life as he did. G\u00fcnther was 14 years old at the time of the fire bombings and lost his mother and siblings. The experience he had was brutal but he never let that stop his passion for seeing benevolence in people.<br \/>\nHe found ways to endure situations no one should ever experience. I grew as a person because of our friendship. You will always be missed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kannegieber5a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kannegieber5a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8103\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kannegieber5a.jpg 550w, http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kannegieber5a-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Kannegieber5a-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2012-10-02-18.28.05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2012-10-02-18.28.05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8104\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2012-10-02-18.28.05.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2012-10-02-18.28.05-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12680478-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
