Kaleidoscopic

gedenkenbrauchtwissen:

Silhouette of the Moscow during the German bombing raid, 1941.  Taken by Margaret Bourke-White.

Bourke-White was the first female war correspondent and the first woman to be allowed to work in combat zones during World War II. In 1941, she traveled to the Soviet Union just as Germany broke its pact of non-aggression. She was the only foreign photographer in Moscow when German forces invaded. Taking refuge in the U.S. Embassy, she then captured the ensuing firestorms on camera.
