Before Their World Was Destroyed

Two years before Tallinn, Estonia was heavily bombed in WWII, a photographer named Berend von Bock took a series of everyday scenes of his family, not knowing, of course, what was to come. While these these photos were miraculously preserved, his family was not, for they scattered or died.

             This is the photographer himself (not a selfie, though)
