Anja Niedringhaus: A Decade Remembered

Ten years after her tragic death in Afghanistan, the world commemorates the impactful work of war photographer Anja Niedringhaus.

Anja Niedringhaus was killed in Afghanistan by an Afghan police officer on April 4, 2014, while covering the presidential elections.
Her photographs captured the humanity and struggle of people in conflict zones, earning her a Pulitzer Prize in 2005.
Niedringhaus' family fought against the death penalty for her killer, resulting in a reduced sentence of 20 years in prison.
Exhibitions in Germany and New York are set to honor her work and legacy on the tenth anniversary of her death.
The International Women's Media Foundation will present the Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award in her memory.
