    I believe that one of the greatest inventions is photography. What a gift it is to have pictures of times gone by, loved ones, places we have been to and to remember history through pictures as well as documents. One of the saddest pictures in this clip was of the Jewish people being “selected” for the gas chamber , the poor mother holding her baby and walking away. The horrors inflicted on those people was unbearable.

    It’s interesting to see so many photographs of soldiers caring for small animals. One can only imagine that they were searching desperately for some sense of humanity in the middle of inhumane conditions. The soldier depicted in the great novel All Quiet on the Western Front is shown, after years of unending battle, reaching out from his fox hole trying to pick a lone wildflower on the battlefield. The meaning is profound: searching for something beautiful and familiar in the midst ugliness and horror.

      Thank you for your comment and appreciation. Yes John and Edith's story is amazing. One of the most poignant things to me is that after John's troop had liberated Edith (and her fellow captives), a dance was held to help reintroduce them to a "normal" life and activities. It was there that John asked out Edith. But, he lacked the courage, so asked a friend to ask her to dance for him. She said she'd dance with him only if he came and asked himself !!! ... Which he did. With the horrors they both must have experienced, the simple act of coming together for a dance still required an act of courage. So glad they found each other and had a long happy life together.

    Goebbels‘ stare at the cameraman really hurt me as a German… It is such a shame that a man with his linguistic ability developed this kind of hate towards jews and engulfed the hearts of many more with a similar hate by holding his speeches.
    I know many Germans didn‘t think like that but seeing his eyes makes me realize again how deeply antisemitism was intertwined with my countrys politics back then and it really, really hurts to see.

      That picture I think is the closest I’ve come to seeing pure evil captured in a person.
      Have there historically been people more evil that Goebbels? Absolutely. But so rarely is it made visible like this. That photographer was truly a genius. He made this moment happen and he knew exactly what he was doing:)

    I thought the battle hardened soldier feeding the little kitten in a trench to be very powerful.We average citizens need to tell our leaders to stop funding and fighting Wars for the powerful few. War serves only them. Also the young man about to be executed ,so defiant in his stance and gaze,just seemed so powerful.He looked more powerful than men that were going to kill him. To stop evil in this World requires courage.

    Hoow - i am from germany and have heard and seen about many super heavy heartbreaking actions people and soldiers have done, to save and rescue, others (HUMAN BEINGS FOR FUCK'S SAKE!) - when this country (my Homeland) was decided into West and East for example ; extreme humanistic things took place - cannot hide my tears anymore, even today! I am crying right now.
    My personal roots come from Rügen (an Island in East Germany) - my ancestors had to leave their beloved homes - Man, that is hard!
    *it never were any Gods who helped out - it were and still ARE mortal human beings who did those great things - CHAPEAU!
    Well done, dear uploader - these realities may never sink into vanish. In german schools we learn to NEVER forget! (i hope the rest of the planet sees this importance, too)

    I counted 9 photos that I've seen before but still this was much appreciated. As I recall Eskimo survivalist expert Nanook of the North was the subject of a widely seen documentary film. Ironically, not long after the film he died in the harsh cold. I think it was due to hunger.

    • @AmazingHistoricalPhotos
      @AmazingHistoricalPhotos  Рік тому +9

      Absolutely correct. The documentary by Robert J. Flaherty was actually highly criticized for being completely staged. Apparently Nanooks wife was not his wife, he used a gun to hunt and not a bow, many of the scenes were completely made up to be dangerous or show a part of Inuit culture that isn’t real. I think that’s true of almost all documentaries. But, this was considered pretty immoral at the time.
