This strangely poetic moment offers an unusual contrast to the all too familiar WWII liberation images of emaciated prisoners in striped uniforms.~Silent Song is a contemplation on the ephemeral nature of life, images and history. This fleeting moment was recorded and thus became an object - the film that is now part of the United States National Archives. The intrinsic human need to photograph and archive is brought to light - the boy's dark eyes and his gentle smile become palpable. <6mn>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
