Faces of War

Life Magazine Photographer Ralph Morse captured the faces of German prisoners of war held at the 'Baby Lager' in Attichy, France where Hitler Youth, aged 12-17 were held in the hope that they could be re-educated. These boys had been trained by Hitler from the age of 9 to be soldiers and towards the end of WWII had been put into action to reinforce his depleted army.

Femmes Algériennes, 1960

As a young man Marc Garanger had put off his departure for the French army as long as possible, hoping that the war in Algeria, which he objected to, would soon end. When his luck ran out he was asigned a position as regiment photographer.

The French army destroyed mountain villages where they suspected Algerian resistance, transfering the population to regroupment villages - concentration camps. Here the military determined that the displaced people would be required to have identity cards.

"Either I refused and went to prison, or I accepted. I understood my luck: it was to be a witness, to make pictures of what I saw that mirrored my opposition to the war. I saw that I could use what I was forced to do, and have the pictures tell the opposite of what the authorities wanted them to tell.”

The women, Berber or Muslim, had never had contact with Europeans. They were made to sit on a stool in front a wall without their veils, exposing their hair and tattoos.

"In a period of ten days, I made two thousand portraits, two hundred a day. The women had no choice in the matter. Their only way of protesting was through their look.”
