Sobre este artículo
Softcover. Very good. Softcover student notebook, 8.25 x 6 inches, containing 51 b/w photographs (2.5" x 3.5") mounted on graph paper leaves, most with handwritten captions in Vietnamese. Dated 1972 on the front cover (with additional handwritten titles or notes we have been unable to decipher). Two items stapled together are laid into the notebook, both in French, on the letterhead of the Indochina Operational Group of the Red Cross. A cover letter addressed to the National Societies (of the Red Cross) dated March 5, 1973, reads (roughly) "It gives us great pleasure to send you the first set of photographs of the Red Cross in the Republic of Vietnam, reported by M. Olaf Stroh during his recent trip to Hanoi and Haphong" and requests feedback. The attached sheet, a photocopy, provides a list of eight Activities of the Red Cross in Vietnam shown in "Series 4" of the photographs. These two items do not appear to have a direct relationship to the photo album (i.e., these are not the photographs mentioned in the correspondence), but both do relate to French Red Cross activities in Vietnam. The photographs show a variety of scenes relating to displaced people and relief efforts in South Vietnam. There are images of landscapes destroyed by the war, trucks piled high with possessions, people waiting in lines and crowds at distribution points for food and supplies, and makeshift refugee camps with living spaces made from tarps, poles, and sheet metal. Red Cross vehicles appear in several photographs, as do a pair of men who are likely representatives of the organization. A compelling view of the impact of the war on ordinary people's lives.
