Rebuilding Lives through Music - A Glimpse into the Healing Power of Harmony
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph captured in 1946, we witness a remarkable scene at the EMS hospital in Stoke Mandeville. The image showcases a choir and group of musicians composed entirely of war-maimed men, who are finding solace and strength through music as part of their rehabilitation process.
