These two photos (above) of the same village show before and after collective farming under the communists. The photo on the left shows the small family farms and on the right the gigantic collective fields. It of course strikes me that the U.S. has done something similar through corporate agribusiness with much the same devastation of the family farm. Would it take something as dramatic as the fall of communism to get us back to family farms?
Three photos of the village of Lidice, remembered as one of the two villages that were liquidated (all men, women and children) and razed by Hitler in relatiation for the Czech resistance fighters fatally wounding the man he had installed as his leader of occupied Czechoslovakia. First an ariel photo of the village before the occupation; next the barren spot after it had been erradicated; and then thirty years later when rebuilding had begun again.
The same, but different: I was intrigued by what looked like a typical secretary's desk with cards and memorabilia, but also a couple targets from her shooting practice!
