EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilience and determination of the people of Dubrovnik, Croatia, during the town's reconstruction following the devastating Siege of Dubrovnik in 1991. The Siege, which lasted over seven months, resulted in extensive damage to the historic city, including the destruction of numerous buildings and infrastructure. In this image, a nun ascends a flight of shell-damaged steps, her habit billowing in the wind as she focuses intently on the task at hand. The steps, pockmarked with the scars of war, serve as a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought upon the city. The image, taken in 1994 during the town's reconstruction, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Dubrovnik people as they worked to restore their beloved city to its former glory. The 1990s were a tumultuous time for the Balkans, with Yugoslavia disintegrating into a series of violent conflicts. Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was particularly hard hit, but the resilience and perseverance of its people ensured that the town would rise from the ashes once again.
