Skull

Our narratives, the stories we tell about war change with time. At least what we find acceptable. Below is a photograph that was printed in Life magazine during World War II. The caption on the page read: Arizona war worker writes her Navy boyfriend a thank-you note for the Jap skull he sent her. While racism is still an important element in war, we are not so obvious in showing it.
