I can understand why this image was hidden….it’s not “news” and it’s not recent…(and it’s rather unpleasant ((and was unpleasant for me to make))….but, like the image, this horrendous history of the Commune de Paris has been mostly hidden.

Not many people are aware that at least 20,000 (up to 40,000) Parisians, who fought for human and workers’ rights, (including many, many women and children) were lined up against walls, taken to abattoirs, and killed en masse by French government troops. And while not "recent", it was, (in my opinion) done in the “modern” world, by a "civilized" government against its own people….. and yet it goes under-reported in the history books (if reported at all).

My purpose in making (and publishing) this image was to possibly introduce this history to those who might be unaware of it, and to those who might want to research it further, and (hopefully) bring this history to light.
