- Summary:
- Simon Norfolk has photographed those places where genocide has occurred. The names ring like a death toll for the twentieth century -- Rwanda, Cambodia, Auschwitz, Dresden, Ukraine, Armenia, Namibia. His photographs are austere black-and-white records, not photo-journalistic cliches or exploitative images, and they document where humans left their trace: a tooth lying in a field, or the worn steps of prisons and death camps. December 9th, 1998, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations Convention on Genocide, and as the century comes to a close this book is both profound comment and haunting reminder of human atrocity.
