Yet despite that, people were so happy that the war was finally over, and they wanted to go back to a time when their worlds hadn’t been torn apart. In order to make residents feel normal again, photographers used fake but beautiful backdrops to make their pictures look picturesque, just like this one from Warsaw, Poland.
