• Little-known photo of the war

"When I was a writer, think about the profession photographers during the war, I think about how difficult this profession. We can write then, we do not have to write then. We can do something to put on your notebook, a word or two, and then deploy this whole picture, because our memory works. They can not be removed later. They can be removed only if, at that moment, that's the tank that is on them, and the attack, which they see. And the evil which they have witnessed. The device does not remember, the machine takes. Their memory - it is their images. What is left on the film, and have their memories of the war. "
