Where Have All The Flowers Gone... 80 years after the war – photographs by Roger Cremers

 
To mark the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War II in 1945, the Jewish Museum Vienna is putting on a photo exhibition dealing with European memory culture and the aftermath of the Shoah and the war today. In his series “World War Two Today,” the Dutch photographer Roger Cremers (b. 1972) has been taking pictures since 2008 of historically contaminated landscapes, former theaters of war, and memorials in Europe in search of answers to the question of how postwar societies have been dealing with the legacy of the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
