A child and her doll in London during WWII |
That picture of a bombing raid in which a building of four stories, stood, of which the whole front wall had been sliced off. All the floors were open to a view of the world, and on the third floor, all alone, looking out and crying, a little girl of about 5. My heart went out to her, poor child. I'll always remember.
This is my 3rd picture I can't forget. She would be about 65 now, and will have her own stories to tell.

This photo is not the one my mother remembered, but it captures the same sense of devastation, abandonment, and loss that the little girl must have felt. I think of the children in Syria and Nigeria right now, experiencing the same kind of trauma. Why are humans such a destructive, aggressive species?
