INTRODUCTION
Yoko Toda's
photographs
Here you can find information on the
photographs of Yoko Toda taken in Cambodia during 1965 &
'66. They describe a country in peacetime, unaware of the tragedy

Remained,” was suggested by Marilyn Sontag. It implies that after the destruction all that remained was silence.
