Great photos, wish I was born earlier.

My dad served as a journalist during the war. After the communists took over, he had to burn barrels of films, some still weren't processed due to fear of persecution. Of the ~50 journalist in his class, he's one of the 3 surviving members to this day.

We were running out when the tanks rolling in. What a horrible day it was.
