The gallery of photos is a wonderful, interesting and truly crushing addition to the book. Showing the smiling happy duchesses and their family – all unaware of the horrible and awful fate that awaits them. It was a deep blow to put faces to the names and be hit with the deep sense of true loss and pain for what happened to Tatiana and her family. It’s very easy with history to lose touch with the fact that these people lived and breathed and had true and personal feelings. As an historian I find myself occasionally looking past the humanity of the figures I’m studying and think of them as characters rather than people… it’s good to be reminded through sources like this that that isn’t the case and these people lived and breathed, laughed and cried as we do.
