Trying to (How to) Track A Photo

Ay Cee

Hey all,
Been trying for months to track a photo I seen last year.
I was in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and there was a photography exhibition on city images I think. My eye was immediately drawn to a picture of two women facing the photographer screaming and crying, it turns out one of their children was trapped in a burning building in the background. It was an old picture, black and white takin' in America if I'm not wrong.

It was very moving and the image stayed with me, which is why I love photography.

My best Google searching has turned up nothing. Does anybody know any photo search websites? Does any one know the picture?

Hoping someone can help.
Thanks.

Fajitas!

Why not try searching through the museum, they usually keep an online archive of the exhibitions, which, even though it might not have the photo you're after, if'll have the timeframe of the exhibition, and the artist(s) which you can search.

I think I know the one you are referring to.
Was there a scene of a child falling and/or a fire escape by any chance?
I THINK I saw it in Cara... very emotional, not a pretty story behind it.

Yes, I know that's not the one, I was supposed to ask whether it could have been in the same collection.
