Lee Miller: [Giving a knife to a girl he has just saved from rape] Next time, cut it.

In the United States, people didn’t exactly believe the horrors and certainly not the numbers of the Holocaust
But if you know about the limited freedoms of women in this era, you will totally appreciate the audacity and productivity on display here.

Many are martyred in the pursuit of their work while incarcerated or held hostage in authoritarian regimes.
