If you could read Russian...

Amazingly, this photo and three others from The Great Depression USA were presented in Ukraine... as part of an exposition dedicated to 1930's hunger.
Organizers used them to prove a genocide against ukrainians. In addition, there were two shots from Volga region.

They Look Like...

...normal kids who just got out of a hot car after driving for days. I grew up in and have retired now in Oklahoma...it would be nice if someone showed Oklahomans as anything other than frowning miserable people. Funny how 5 million "Okies" moved west in the 30's from a state with only 1 million people! People are as normal here as anywhere else--I lived in other states for 30 years--I know.

Dust Bowl Kids

This photograph is heartbreaking. The children look old beyond their years. The girls eyes look so vacant, so full of despair. These children experienced some real heartache.

Perfect title!

They look like my son when he gets home from playing!
