{"product_id":"wirtschaftswunder","title":"Wirtschaftswunder","description":"\u003cp\u003eGermany after the war 1952 - 1967. It was no more than eight years after the surrender of the Nazi government when Josef Heinrich Darchinger set out on his photographic journey through the West of a divided Germany. The bombs of World War II had reduced the countrys major cities to deserts of rubble. Yet his pictures show scarcely any signs of the downfall of a civilization. Not that the photographer was manipulating the evidence: he simply recorded what he saw. At the time  a New York travel agency was advertising the last opportunity to go and visit the remaining bomb sites. Darchingers pictures  in color and black-and-white  show a country in a fever of reconstruction. The economic boom was so incredible that the whole world spoke of an \"economic miracle.\" The people who achieved it  in contrast  look down-to-earth  unassuming  conscientious  and diligent. And increasingly  they look like strangers in the world they have created.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983551262773,"sku":"ByrdShop_3836540169","price":91.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783836540162.jpg?v=1770798423","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wirtschaftswunder","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
