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.

Plus a lot of inhumane travesties. I wanted to kick out my now-ex's aunt after we ended up in a topic of the Holodomor, cos I had just learned about it, as my mom was going through our family genealogy history on our Ukrainian side. She said it wasn't "that bad if it wasn't talked about" and "it wasn't a genocide" as "not enough people died". There are people who think it wasn't manmade. Makes me mad but their opinions don't change history nor do they cancel out the information that's out there. As long as you know the truth that's all that matters to you. There's so much information, commemoration and first hand accounts of these horrors, you'd think they'd know. It seems as though they think acknowledging how bad something is would be over-reacting, and over-reacting is ridiculous to them. Or they're in disbelief anyone in the world could be that cruel, or they think that there was some sort of nonsensical reason for something that bad to happen to a large group of targeted people.

Manchester, UK, has a large Jewish community and some were survivors of the camps in Poland and Germany. They (as far as I know , now deceased) visited schools to explain what it was like and how to avoid it happening again. I just hope we can learn, at last, from history.
I lived in a Jewish neighborhood in LA. It was pretty common to see the tattoos on elderly men and women. You would tear up at the sight.
I worked with an attorney nd her father was one of Oskar Schindlers' people he saved. Both a wonderful nd sad picture. In that they survived horrors usually seen only in movies and that this generation will be gone soon and some will never know them.
Oh but remember the Holocaust never happened 😡😡😡 freaking morons!!! Seriously how can anyone ever say that?!?!?!
When I was a kid in a poor NYC neighborhood in the 50s and 60s I lived in a walk-up tenement. It was mostly Irish, but there were also were several old Jewish/German refugee couples who very much kept to themselves - I think there was a language barrier. Anyway. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized why they always wore long-sleeve clothing - even on the hottest summer days. I wish I could go back there knowing what I know now.
To think there are people who think this was all a hoax.... shocking!
Judging from this picture these men were probably young during their imprisonment, less than 20. The fellow on the right maybe 5 yes old or less. Quite a testament to their characters to be able to grow into upstanding citizens and prosper. These should be the kind of role models we adopt.

Just renews my complete and utter hatred of the “sheeple” of Germany! I hope the whole 3rd reich is burning in hell!
Now we have some who say things like the holocaust is upsetting and shouldn't be taught in schools...a great way tor repeat mistakes of the past if it go down that route.
Yet, the schools try to tell students that all that was made up and never happened.
um. in the first picture, you see that past guy on the right who looks like hes about to karate chop someone? look closely behind him. whos that? 💀
I read that he had a reunion with the turtles from Rocky, Cuff and Link, a couple of years ago
there are sitill quite a few in Italy, France, Spain : voie-romai...b972f6.jpg

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.
So accurate. We all live in our own filter bubbles now.
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.

Once again, the same old pictures, over and over. Can’t anybody come up with something new?
I don't like the exaggerated titles "teach you more than school books"
I can't reply and hope you see that i answered you someday :) ...thank you so much - this means a lot more to me than you might think! I would love to hear more about your journey - i'm trying to start mine for a long time but somehow stuck in this "phase". And now you helped me to take action...THANK YOU!!
