Hi everyone. I was reading some of the things people have posted and came across this picture, which seems (at least to me) to relate to what some of you have thought about. There are so many victims in this book - here's one for real: (Colleen)


Saima, a woman in Sarajevo, holds a photograph of her daughter Fadila, who was killed during the Bosnian conflict in 1996. A 48-year-old pediatric dentist conscripted into battlefield surgery, Fadila was shot by a sniper while she was hanging her uniform on a line to dry. This picture was taken on the first anniversary on her death. From The Pain of War, an exhibition at the Mead Art Museum. Photo by Frank Ward, gelatin silver print, 1996, Mead Art museum, museum purchase
