Writing about: Through the Lens

I was looking at some of the images in Through the Lens yesterday, and a two of them in particular got me thinking somewhat, both taken in the early ‘30s. The first shows three children of around 12, wearing traditional Dutch clothing, all happy and smiling. The second was taken on a flight from Amsterdam to Berlin, and shows the passengers getting their in-flight meal, and I noticed especially a young woman to was looking out of the window, looking nervous.

I wonder what happened to them? I know the woman survived her flight, but did any of them survive the darkness that was about to envelop the world, unbenownst to them? Are any of them still alive? The children would be be around 85 now, the woman pushing a hundred.

Who will be looking at my photos in 70 years’ time? What will they be thinking?
