This is the title of an exhibition of photographs currently (though not for long) at the Tate Modern in London. It features single and sets of photos of locations where battles, wars or other conflicts once took place - taken after periods of time ranging from minutes (the Hiroshima cloud) to a century.

One exhibit has traced and photographed the descendants of Hans Frank, the head of the Generalgouvernement, an appalling man who was justly (if you believe in capital punishment) executed after the war. Not all his descendants were willing to be photographed, as you might expect! Part of the exhibit, however - and the reason I am posting - featured this:

Image Not Found

...which I imagine anyone interested in propaganda philately will know all about.

So, a couple of stamps in a photographic exhibition. Good to see that, even given the non-philatelic context.
