Can photographs create the same historical effect as literature?
Life: 100 Photographs that Changed The World
(ISBN 1-931933-84-7)
Book of photographs accumulated by the editors of Life in 2003.
The project began with the online question posted on Life's website in 2003 and after the answers, the editors compiled 100 photographs that they felt portrayed technological photographic achievements, documented historic events and accomplishments, or have achieved iconic cultural and symbolic status.
The work is divided into four major chapters and three accompanying subsections:
Arts (concentrating on photography’s evolution throughout the 19th century and its later application to cultural exploitation); Society (documenting images that captured moments that shifted public acquaintance with political, social, cultural and environmental issues); War (pivotal moments of conflict and associated violence); and Science and Nature (capturing technological triumphs, defeats and horrors).

Anne Frank 1941
Six million Jews died in the Holocaust. For many throughout the world, one teenage girl gave them a story and a face. She was Anne Frank, the adolescent who, according to her diary, retained her hope and humanity as she hid with her family in an Amsterdam attic. In 1944 the Nazis, acting on a tip, arrested the Franks; Anne and her sister died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen only a month before the camp was liberated. The world came to know her through her words and through this ordinary portrait of a girl of 14. She stares with big eyes, wearing an enigmatic expression, gazing at a future that the viewer knows will never come.
