In Legacy of Lies, Nickelsberg's black-and-white images capture the dark realities of El Salvador's civil war, emphasizing how U.S. policies exacerbated violence and turmoil.
The collection serves as both a historical document and a critique of U.S. involvement, illustrating how foreign policy decisions in the 1980s led to profound human suffering.
Nickelsberg's photographs, some unpublished until now, reveal the stark contrasts of daily life amidst conflict, blurring the lines between the personal and the political.
This work not only documents a turbulent period but also contextualizes the human costs of civil war, shedding light on the reasons behind the mass exodus to the U.S.
