The Daughters of Oblivion

Women of the civil war...one ears of wheat. Ears blown away by the bitter wind of the times, ground ruthlessly by the millstones of history. Country, party, betrayals, revolutions, resurrections, massacres and finally, the rounding up of children. The most inhumane and darkest page of this fratricidal anguish. Women of the civil war...candles alit. Asking, running, rapping at doors day and night. Disheveled souls filled with nothing but hope. Hope that they may be reunited with their children again. Some were...Others weren't. Women of the civil war... Mothers with empty embraces. This is their story.
