Studying history helps us understand how past events have shaped the present. We not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies.

So, join us in taking a look at the Twitter account 'Historic Vids.' It shares daily lessons supplemented with vibrant images that perfectly illustrate them. Whether it's a secret photo of Stalin dealing with the news that Nazis invaded the Soviet Union or a portrait of a regular family during the Spanish flu, they will definitely broaden your horizons.

I read that he had a reunion with the turtles from Rocky, Cuff and Link, a couple of years ago

Hate the way they turn these photos black and white to make it seem oldtimey, when it's in colour in the 80s.

My grandmother had one of those in her house. It's for warming gloves and socks, not bread

The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.

Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?

Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.

May not be his mother. Sometimes I'll be holding a neice or a cousin and people will assume I'm a teen mom and give me dirty looks. It's fair to give the benefit of the doubt here.

Could be a sibling or her child, too. Either way, she's holding a baby protectively and ready to kick a*s at the first person to double cross her.

Once they ruled over the continent, now forced to reservations.

I don't think Native Americans ruled, I always thought of them living in harmony and respect with the lands

Eventually she became an adult with a fully developed brain, giving her consent. Something she was intellectually incapable of at the time of this photo.

She looks very young and not entirely native. At least no to me.

I'm pushing 40. When I look back at my photos of me any time before 28 I look much younger, and people are shocked to learn I have an adult daughter. I'm not sure what's really the big deal about looking young and having a child. Looking/being young doesn't determine how good of a parent you are. Which in relevance to this lady, North American Indigenous people had every reason to worry. They were deemed as "unfit" parents, had their children apprehended at gun point. Maybe not at gun point, today, but child apprehension still disproportionately happens to the Indigenous and Metis people to this day, and parents are more heavily scrutinized of their abilities to parent than any other culture and race.

Sunscreen people! All jokes aside that's an impressive age to live to and I bet he had some stories to tell.

Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....

If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.
