Uncovered in twelve cardboard boxes sealed with red-and-white FRAGILE tape were 3, 874 black-and-white photographs and 150 reels of 16 mm film.

Seeing the eyes of those people, I could not sleep for days.â

Akina Li trembled with anxiety on Friday morning as she counted down the minutes and seconds until her ATAR appeared on the screen. The 18-year-old Pymble Ladies College student from Eastwood was hoping for 99.95 to secure her chances of getting into medicine at the University of Sydney.
She has wanted to be a doctor or dentist since she was three, and in recent years set her sights on neurosurgery. The moments Akinaâs computer took to load her result were brief but agonising. Then she and her mother burst into tears.
