Download or read book Rhapsody in Junk written by Marilyn Jeffers Walton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of three year's of research in four countries. By meticulously combing the archive records in England, Germany, Poland and the United States, Marilyn Jeffers Walton has reconstructed the final mission of her father and his crew and located the German cemetery where one crewmate, killed the day the plane was shot down, was buried. She searched for and found the remaining men of the crew of "Rhapsody in Junk" and reunited them after sixty years. Interviews with the crew and fellow prisoners of war contributed puzzle pieces, put together bit by bit, that enabled her to find where they were captured and interrogated. By searching old records, letters, diaries and mission records, she was finally able to return to Germany and find the crash site of her father's B-24 where pieces of the plane still remained. To her astonishment, she met the woman who watched her father bail out and saw the very field where he landed. During her return to Germany, she connected emotionally with the people of the peaceful farm community of Wagersrott where her father was taken prisoner over six decades before. In her quest to reconstruct the mission and her father's prisoner of war experiences, Walton presents not only his story but the stories of the British and German people who both suffered greatly, all caught up in the dictates of a mad man. Revealed within the pages is a first-hand account of the bombing of Dresden from a German couple who survived it. Walton's odyssey through Europe allowed her to discover the rich fabric of the people who endured and survived the war and to weave their stories into a multi-faceted mosaic that reflects the personal experiences of World War II.

Download or read book Saga: A Photographic Journey from Lewis Baltz to Tarrah Krajnak written by Urs Stahel and published by . This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years ago, at the Basel Art Fair, Astrid Ullens bought a photograph by Brancusi, more or less on the spur of the moment. This proved to be the first step in the formation of an impressive collection that today comprises more than 5,000 photographs, some by such renowned figures as Lewis Baltz, Lee Friedlander, Helen Levitt and Walker Evans, others by young photographers like Francesco Neri, Georges Senga, Massao Mascaro and Tarrah Krajnak. 00Ullens, who confided her collection to a specially created foundation, the Fondation A Stichting in Brussels, is not interested in trophy-hunting. For her, it is the photographer?s eye and stance that matter, and collecting is an aspect of a wider project to promote photography as a way of looking at and better understanding the world, while also, of course, helping to support contemporary practitioners.00This substantial volume provides an excellent introduction to the collection, with more than 100 photographers plentifully represented in no fewer than 2,000 images. In doing so, it takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the self-reflexive and conceptually-inflected documentary photography of the 20th century, with plenty of surprises alongside the well-known landmarks. It also offers a portrait of a cohort of photographers who still, in one way or another, sought to give the viewer a better understanding of the world, of nature, mankind, society, and photography itself ? something that can no longer be taken for granted in the flood of images in which we find ourselves immersed today, put into further question by advances in AI. 00Exhibition: during les Rencontres d?Arles, France (01.07. - 22.09.2024).
