520    "In January 1942, Soviet photographers came upon a scene 
       like none they had ever documented. That day, they took 
       pictures of the first liberation of a German mass atrocity
       site, where an estimated 7,000 Jews and others were 
       executed at a trench near Kerchon the Crimean peninsula. 
       Dmitri Baltermants, a photojournalist working for the 
       Soviet newspaper Izvestiia, took pictures that day that 
       would have a long life in shaping the image of Nazi 
       genocide in and against the Soviet Union. Presenting never
       beforeseen photographs, Grief: The Biography of a 
       Holocaust Photograph shows how Baltermants used the image 
       of a grieving woman to render this gruesome mass atrocity 
       into a transcendentally human tragedy. David Shneer tells 
       the story of how one photograph fromthe trench became much
       more widely known than the others, eventually being titled
       "Grief." Baltermants turned this shocking atrocity 
       photograph into a Cold War era artistic meditation on the 
       profundity and horror of war that today can be found in 
       Holocaust archives as well as art museums and at art 
       auctions. Although the journalist documented murdered Jews
       in other pictures he took at Kerch, in "Grief" there are 
       likely no Jews among the dead or the living, save for the 
       possible NKVD officer securing the site. Nonetheless, 
       Shneer shows that this photograph must be seen as an 
       iconic Holocaust photograph. Unlike emaciated camp 
       survivors or barbed wire fences, Shneer argues, the 
       Holocaust by bullets in the Soviet Union make "Grief" a 
       quintessential Soviet image of Nazi genocide"--|cProvided
