Young Russian Girl


My father-in-law while working for the Russian military intelligence during World War II was posted to Berlin. Along with many fascinating stories about his experiences there he left behind thousands of photographs. This one I've chosen for project number 3, a charcoal pencil drawing, is of a young girl in Eastern Germany taken soon after the war ended. One can already see etched on her young face the memories she will carry the rest of her life. We have no idea who she is or what became of her.
