Both books show the destruction of a german city, Cologne resp. Dresden, by allied bomber force during WWII.
One book was published in the western, the other in the eastern part of Germany.
The idea of the exhibition, taking place in Bonn (Germany), is not only to show the published photos in original prints, but to depict the formation of the books, the idea behind them and the changes applied with successive editions, in the context of the different poltical situations.

"Gesang im Feuerofen" (The Singing in the Fire-Oven) (Hermann Claasen, 1947)
