Reminds me of the photo of a Polish(?) young girl holding her dead sister after an air raid

Edit: Found it, 1939, girl in the photo is 10. Slightly NSFL http://miepvonsydow.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/kazimiera-mika-a-10-year-old-polish-girl-crying-over-her-older-sisters-body-she-was-killed-during-a-german-air-raid-while-working-in

"But the Nazi fliers were not satisfied with their work. In a few minutes they came back and swooped down to within two hundred feet of the ground, this time raking the field with machine-gun fire. Two of the seven women were killed. The other five escaped somehow."

Completely senseless, and indefensible.
