Still, watching these films of war, as if its the first time😢😢😢Respect for all who served, faught for us, saved many but not forgetting the ones who were murdered😢😢😢and lost their lives serving in different capacities.

Tom Hank's unmistakably warmth (even if it's merely a credible impersonator). Such a blessing to watch a professionally produced documentary, in an ocean of non-content clickbait. Thank you PBS

[@joeyboy1980s]

Tom hanks is a monster in real life

Could it happen again, looks like it can....how does humanity ever learn?

[@azhassainia2492]

It's happening in Gaza ,we just changed the player it seems that they have learned the lesson ,but in the wrong way.

[@manewry66tw]

Of course it can, people are extremely easy to manipulate.

[@mikecalvin74]

Still here just taken different forms.

It is happening in Ethiopia like in Ruwanda the world is just watching . The governement of Ethiopia is the main actor in the genocide of the Amhara people .

[@keithawhosoever5384]

​@@azhassainia2492That's just not true , if you are referring to the war against Hamas in Gaza .
It's incredible how Israel has been surrounded by enemies since its rebirth in 1948 , survived numerous wars from day one , turned a wasteland back into a living and thriving economy , all the time wanting peace with their hate-filled Islamic neighbours, yet Israel are called the 'aggressors' 😮
God bless the IDF and the nation of Israel 😊

British Unitarian ministers, including the Rev John McLachlan, were also involved in this kindertransport operation. The bravery of Martha and Waitstill Sharp was remarkable - their recognition well deserved. Czech Unitarian leader, Norbert Capek, mentioned in this video was eventually arrested and killed in a Nazi extermination camp. He founded the Flower Communion service that many Unitarian churches around the world celebrate still to day. He wrote this solemn but beautiful hymn that we still sing, Mother Spirit Father Spirit (English words by Richard Boeke - ua-cam.com/video/aJqN1BkoG-M/v-deo.html

[@dorrybrewin6012]

This is so enlightening and so frightening. It’s going to happen again hate can multiply

[@Christoph-lv9tc]

Very moving, informative, and educational. Sadly, the British political scene appears to be on the cusp of matching Germany before Hitler, and Spain just before the Spanish Civil War, and there may be a need for more Sharps!

[@joyaclark6171]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@frederickanderson1860]

1:06 millions of unknown people died and suffer for no reason at all. Are they remembered??? Saints seem to be the norm and if not a Catholic or of any church you forgotten.

[@saskiawells9472]

How horrible they never knew what laid ahead x

[@elizabethmarydonnellydiban9792]
