History is one big treasure box full of unforgettable moments, incredible people, encounters, places, events, incidents, you name it. But with time flying at the pace of a hadron collider, they easily slip under the dusty blanket of time and oblivion.

Thanks to this incredibly entertaining Instagram page titled “Lost In History,” though, many of these rare moments that got captured on camera were dug up from the past and brought to the present time. Dedicated to 20th-century people and culture, the account is sharing pictures with its 1.2M followers that illuminate history in this entirely new perspective.

Psst! After you're done reading this one, don't forget to check out our previous feature with more "Lost In History" pics.

Simone Segouin, Mostly Known By Her Codename, Nicole Minet, Was Only 18-Years-Old When The Germans Invaded

Simone Segouin, Mostly Known By Her Codename, Nicole Minet, Was Only 18-Years-Old When The Germans Invaded

Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, and to slice the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups. She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges and helping to create a German-free path to help the Allied forces retake France from the inside. She was never caught. Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded several medals, including the Croix de Guerre. After the war, she studied medicine and became a pediatric nurse. She is still going strong at 96.

“Photographs bring history to life in an immediate and visceral way,” Lisa Yaszek, a Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at Georgia Tech, where she researches and teaches science fiction as a global language crossing centuries, continents, and cultures, told Bored Panda in a previous interview.

Yaszek explained how it’s different from exploring history through written sources. “When we read books, we get lots of detailed information about historical events: who was involved, where the event happened, what factors led to and resulted from it, and so on.”

German Anti-Nazi Political Activist, Sophie Scholl, Was Executed In 1943 For Leading Non-Violent Student Resistance Against Hitler

She was 21 years old. Her last words: "How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause. Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"

Holocaust Survivor And The Soldier Who Rescued Her In 1944

Holocaust Survivor And The Soldier Who Rescued Her In 1944

During World War 2, John Mackay was part of the Scottish commando unit that rescued a group of prisoners from the Nazis as they were being marched from Auschwitz to another concentration camp. Little did he know that amongst the prisoners was a young Hungarian woman by the name of Edith Steiner. He would see her again at a dance, which was organized to celebrate the liberation. John asked a friend to ask Edith if she would dance with him, but she sent his friend back with the message that she would only do so if he asked her out himself. So John worked up the courage to go up to her and ask her in person, and she accepted. In 1946, they married and returned to Scotland where they owned and operated a small hotel in Pitlochry before retiring in Dundee. After celebrating their 71st Valentine's Day together, Edith passed away in June of 2017, just three weeks before their wedding anniversary. She was 92 years old.

“Sometimes such information can be vividly detailed and prompt us to imagine what historical events might have looked like in ways that make us feel more connected to them, but sometimes we are so overwhelmed with dry or technical details that we actually feel more removed from the event than ever before,” the professor explained.

This Is Shavarsh Karapetyan, A Retired Armenian Swimmer.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In 1976, He Had Just Completed A 26 Km (16 Mile) Run When He Heard A Loud Crash

A trolleybus had lost control and had fallen into a reservoir. It was 25 meters (82 ft) off-shore and had sunk to a depth of 10 meters (33 ft).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Karapetyan immediately dived into the sewage-infested waters and managed to kick the back window of the trolleybus with his legs, despite zero visibility from the silt that had risen from the bottom. Of the 92 passengers onboard, Karapetyan pulled out 46 people. 20 of whom survived.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The combination of cold water and the multiple lacerations from glass shards led him to be hospitalized for 45 days. He developed pneumonia and sepsis. While he was able to recover, damage to his lungs prevented him from continuing his career as a swimmer.⁣⁣

Yaszek argues that even when shot by the most amateur of photographers, these images have a unique effect on our modern minds. “These images of people living in and through various moments in history provide a sense of immediate emotional connection—we think, ‘wow, so that’s what it would feel like to experience that moment of history!’” Yaszek explained.

Lena Baker Was A Black Maid That Was Put On Trial For The Killing Of Her White Employer Earnest Knight For Trying To Rape Her

Though she claimed self defense, she was sentenced to death by an all white male jury. Her trial only lasted one day! Sitting in the electric chair, this is what she said: "What I done, I did in self defense or I would've been killed myself. Where I was, I could not overcome it. I am ready to meet my God''. She was executed on March 5, 1945 as the only woman ever executed in Georgia. She left behind 3 children. Her last words, along side with her picture are displayed near the now-retired electric chair at a museum at Georgia state prison in Reidsville. She was Pardon 60 years after her Murder.

Please don't just put up one picture and judge a nation and it's people by it. Yes the current regime is fairly awful but why do you imagine the revolution happened in the first place? Mainly because as usual the then powers that be US and UK wanted control of their oil and helped the shah of Iran stage a coup against a democratically elected PM because he nationalised the nations oil so that the country would benefit rather than foreigners. So the overthrew the peoples will installed a puppet who was as bad as the current monarchs in the Middle East and when his own people protested he used the country's military to kill them. That is how you bring about your own downfall. These were educated progressive people but were pushed into a corner and they just fought back and made a deal just to get rid of him and maybe the cure was worse than the disease but I think punishing a whole nation with sanctions because they wanted to use their resources for themselves is a d**k move too.

Islam is not the same as arabic culture. 2 billion people on the world are muslim. Most people fighting against the "islamic revolution" were too. As most people who died fighting against ISIS, etc.. Seeing the whole islamic world as a single simplified thing is ignorance. Edit: I know Iranian peole are not arab, but I see very often an identification between Islam and Arabic culture and most of the time people forget about gnostic christians in Egypth or just assume the arabic or middle east repression of woman is something related to Islam, which is not.

Ok, I am about to go on a rant, but I just wanted to contribute by saying f**k the Islamic Republic. The amount of s**t that the clergy has caused, the amount of suffering, martyrdom and terrorist acts are indescribable. Hijab was a sign of modesty, of a woman’s respect, and was a happy CHOICE. Iranian royalty used it as a sign of high wealth and modesty. مرگ بر دیکتاتور.‌ and there are also stories no one knows. The new Revolution is not “sudden” it is not “a nation who suddenly had enough”, the truth is, this s**t has been going on for years. Think how well the clergy can hide this stuff with torture, extortion, murder and threats, if the world didn’t find out about these protests before. This started ever since the new constitution, something people never understand.

Before the Islamic Revolution was the Shah, installed by the UK in a Coup d'Etat because Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh tried to nationalize the iranian oil industry. "An Amnesty International assessment on Iran for 1974–1975 stated: The shah of Iran retains his benevolent [world] image despite the highest rate of death penalties in the world, no valid system of civilian courts and a history of torture which is beyond belief. ... the total number of political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year [1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000" Imagine how desperate people have to be to prefer Khomeini.

These pictures have always saddened me so much. In my lifetime, I've only ever known Iran to be an oppressive religious regime that requires women to be covered up and subservient. When I first saw these pictures of Iran BEFORE the fundamentalist takeover, it absolutely blew my 13 year old mind. I really hope that one day, women all over the world will have the freedom to just be themselves, free from the restrictions and horrors visited upon them by the patriarchy.

This is why it irks me so much when people say America is a Christian nation. Please no. When religion rules any nation, it becomes very oppressive. Many "Muslim" countries were secular until the fanatics started coming into power. Some are still quite secular but the hardliners still create fear especially in women trying to be free spirited.

If the modesty and honor of a woman is asked to go back or if you people consider it bad, then we Muslims are proud of it. Morally, there is no one more ignorant than you people, you need education. And to respect your women because a woman is not a thing. I am also a Muslim hijabi girl. And I feel safer wearing hijab. And hijab does not hinder you from doing any legitimate work. Before saying anything wrong about Islam or thinking anything wrong, think about how much you know about Islam, so it is better to get good knowledge about Islam first. I hope your opinion will change after getting proper knowledge.

Interestingly, by looking at historical images, viewers may develop an emotional bond. “Once we feel an emotional bond with the people in historical photos and perhaps even begin to imaginatively empathize with them—we forge new intellectual connections to history itself, asking ourselves: ‘Why are the people in this photograph in this situation in the first place? What happened leading up to this photo—and what happened afterward?’,” Yaszek told us.

This Is 18-Year-Old Alice Roosevelt And Her Long-Haired Chihuahua Named Leo In 1902

She also had a pet snake named Emily Spinach who she would wrap around on one arm and take to parties. Alice was extremely independent and unlike many women of her time, she was known to wear pants, drive cars, smoke cigarettes, place bets with bookies, dance on rooftops, and party all night. In a span of 15 months, she managed to attend 300 parties, 350 balls and 407 dinners. A friend of Alice’s stepmom once remarked that she was “like a young wild animal that had been put into good clothes.” Her stepmom went a step further and described her as a “guttersnipe” that went “uncontrolled with every boy in town.” William Howard Taft banned her from the White House after Alice buried a voodoo doll (of Taft’s wife) in the front yard. Woodrow Wilson also banned her after she told a very dirty joke (sadly no record of the joke exists) about him in public. Her father, Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “I can either run the country or I can attend to Alice, but I cannot possibly do both.” Alice once told President Lyndon B. Johnson that she specifically wore wide-brimmed hats around him so that he could not kiss her. During an interview in 1974, Alice described herself as a “hedonist.” She died in 1980 at the age of 96.

My gran worked as a nurse in the UK during the late 20s in a hospital for returned soldiers, in the ward dealing with injuries like this.... A lot of them could never return to their families because their injuries were so horrific... Most Sundays she would bring my mum and my aunty to the hospital gardens to play, so the patients could watch from the balcony, and experience at least a trace of a normal life they could never experience ...... Still breaks my heart when I think of it, how much damage the human body can take and still go on.... My gran was my fkn hero!!

So I have seen this one before. The angle of the picture makes it look super scary, but they actually are not that high off the ground.

Office Life Before The Invention Of Autocad And Other Drafting Softwares

Office Life Before The Invention Of Autocad And Other Drafting Softwares

Prior to the release of AutoCAD in 1982, engineering drawings were all done by hand using different grade pencils, erasers, T-squares and set squares. Even after all the manual labor, if a change was required, the engineers and toolmakers had to start from scratch and make the sketches all over again. Nowadays, architecture designers and other drafters are mainly just clicking their mouse and keyboard and not hunched over on a giant desk wondering if any changes will be made to their final drafts.

Really relieved and happy to see this "woman of the future" depiction is a female professional, as opposed to a "sexy space babe." Especially since playing card companies have been (and still are) known to go that direction

Mexican Actress Maty Huitrón Photographed By Nacho Lopez In 195

This series was one of the multiple social experiments of the Mexican photographer to understand human behavior. In this case, it was about seeing the average reaction to an exuberant woman, the model chosen was the burlesque dancer Maty Huitron, who would later become an eminence of the performing arts in Mexico. The impact was so provocative that Nacho López's photos were awarded in 1957 by UNESCO, and later exhibited in stations of the Paris and Munich Metro.

Discussing meeting her in the same year, record label-owner David Nichtern said “When she first came to us she was playing plunky little acoustic guitar, had sort of straight blonde hair, very cute young woman.
