In a recent letter to the editor of Slavic Review, I took issue with the identification and interpretation of two photographs that appeared in an article titled “Heroes, Victims, Role Models: Representing the Child Soldiers of the Warsaw Uprising.” The scenes were mistakenly identified as taking place in wartime Warsaw. While various perspectives may be taken on how one uses and interprets photographs in other disciplines, as an historian, I believe it to be essential that a strict review of the photographs’ origin be examined since they may force us to come to different conclusions about the reality of historical events, and possibly perpetrators of crimes. The crux of my argument follows.

作为历史文献的照片：对 Evgenii Khaldei 的两张布达佩斯照片的考察

在最近给编辑的一封信中斯拉夫评论，我对出现在一篇题为“英雄、受害者、榜样：代表华沙起义的儿童兵”的文章中的两张照片的识别和解释提出了质疑。这些场景被错误地认定为发生在战时华沙。虽然对于一个人如何在其他学科中使用和解释照片可能会采取各种不同的观点，但作为一名历史学家，我认为对照片的来源进行严格审查是至关重要的，因为它们可能会迫使我们就照片的来源得出不同的结论。历史事件的现实，以及可能的犯罪者。我的论点的症结如下。
