    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.

      I’ll agree to that. My mom was big photo taking buff, and I got stacks of photo albums of pictures she has taken from my birth to this day and even purchased for me all the photos of my school years from k-8 and every time I look at them I tear up and remember the moment I was there when the picture was taken. My mom passed away two years ago and probably the best memories of her was in the photos she always used to take. If you can hear me, hello mom. 😢

    The photo of the west German soldier helping the the little boy over the fence is the photo I saw in Berlin when my dad was stationed there in 1977. I saw it at the museum at the Berlin Wall. I remember going into East Germany many times. My father wore his army uniform and I remember holding my ID against the car window and the East German guard writing our information into his notebook. The memories of those days will never be forgotten.

    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.

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)
    Greetings and lots of Health to everyone!

      Some of the older generations represented here thought World (or Civil) wars were a solution to solving conflict.

      Agreed. They are even more powerful when it’s a relative. Photos of my grandfather during ww2 are incredibly emotional to view.

    Fantastic, old books and photos are our link with the past. Photos say so much, facial expressions in various situations fascinate me. I feel I’m being spoken to from the past. ‘’Yes, this is what happened to us,! Take care not to let it happen again’’. Of course there are happy photos as well, thankfully.
