Review (in 1996):

A stunning virtual museum exhibit, "Faces of Sorrow" is harsh photographic testimony to years of war in the Balkans. The dozens of photos reproduced here, taken by 35 photojournalists from 14 countries, offer "indisputable pictorial witness to the searing effects of man's in-humanity to mankind".

The exhibit, presented by Photo Perspectives - and sponsored by Time magazine in cooperation with the United Nations - is divided into six sections, including "Ethnic Cleansing", "Siege of Sarajevo" and "Faces of Rape". Even as the very idea of ethnic cleansing is horrifying, it becomes even more so as the viewer looks into the faces of innocent children targeted for slaughter.

Hard-hitting, dismaying, and an amazing use of the Web.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
