About the search of De Graaf, maker of radio documentaries, for a man who returned to Zadkine's sculpture 'The Destroyed City' every year to take pictures of it.
As a maker of radio documentaries, De Graaf decided to focus on war monuments in Rotterdam. Zadkine's sculpture of the man with the hole in his body, a.k.a. 'The Destroyed City', was among them. She met an 85-year-old man near the statue, who had been making pictures of it since the early 1950s. With shifting backgrounds, as the city expanded. De Graaf had struck a wonderful story.
