Thread Name: BS: Forty Powerful Photos
Subject: RE: BS: Forty Powerful Photos
#20 is one that graphically demonstrates a people's feelings at being invaded. It made me insanely GLAD that I was not an adult during WWII; I have a pronounced tendency to feel culpable in any disaster.

After responding and reacting to so many photos I became aware that what brought me to drenching tears was the images of powerlessness, whether age related or status or a reunion after having thought someone or something was gone forever.

By the way, the man in Tianniman Square was anything but powerless.
