There was a display of around 16 photos just outside the train station. Though I liked them all, I was particular drawn to this one, taken in 1950. Since the bridge was still intact, the war hadn't started. Hell was just weeks away.

Out of 34 people, only two showed spontaneous emotions, a laughing woman and a crying baby, so they're more alive to us now, although like the rest, they're dead.
