Amazing how a moment in time, frequently a juxtaposition, is so powerful.
These already are moving.. I suspect I need a hanky since I would run through a Kleenex box.
Thank you for posting this.
Also sometimes powerfully misleading.
One of the very most famous photos of the Vietnam War is of the S. Vietnamese police chief executing a captive with his pistol. The comment below shows it is an example of wartime atrocities against possibly innocent people.
Little known fact:
The police chief was a good friend of the photographer. The guy getting killed had been caught in the act of murdering policemen's families during a raid. There was no question of his guilt. Yet the image no doubt played a significant role in turning world opinion against S. Vietnam.
For the rest of his life the photographer regretted taking and selling that photo.
Would post the photo if I knew how.
As another example, there are many photos of the Nazis camps on the page, but none of the gulag or laogai. Those have been successfully kept out of the media.
