"Lee MILLER’s work during World War II reminds us that freedom and justice are qualities of boundless value that - like fragile plants - require constant cultivation. Many of her images show us the often unexpected joy and beauty to be found in the world, but she has also given us some lessons in what happens when barbarism and fanatical intolerance are allowed to go unchecked. This is not a new idea. Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) stated:

For evil to happen, all that is necessary is for good men to do nothing.

Lee MILLER left us many examples of both good and evil to help inform our choices.
The rest is up to us."
