50 Rare Historical Photos That You Probably Haven’t Seen Before

They also executed a 14-years-old that did nothing but speak his mind: Helmut Hübener. War is atrocious and the violence that comes with it is repelling. Still, the human race seems to struggle to understand it.

It may even have been a 17 year old boy doing the hanging, thinking well it's her or me

Croatian Ustasa had the only concentration camp solely for children (Sisak). The atrocities commited are too harsh to speak about. My grandmother was there but her aunt paid for her to be freed. Its also true that the girl at 17 would have been a fighter. My greataunt died in the Kozara battle as a combatant aged 17. She was a combatant for 2 years previously. Its also necessary to know that the Serbs living in this area were specifically warriors, culturally, due to the history of the Military Krajina (Austria-Hungarian empire).

Fascism was /is a mental obsession. Hitler and his closest conspirators has people so scared of everything that the hysteria killed millions.

I have this "right side of history" question all the time...in countless topics. How can you be pro-slavery? How can you be anti-womens suffrage? How can you be anti-racial integration? How can you be a Trumper? History's judgement is not kind to conservatives nor will it ever be.

Good question.

well she was a fighting partisan so she may have killed a brother or multiple friends of the soldier.......... That doesnt give you the right to kill, but it gives you a reason

Those soldiers were so brainwashed. They did what they were told regardless of whether it made them monsters. Kind of like being told to go storm a country's capitol building bc some charismatic would be despot told them it was their duty....

It’s number 1 currently

Uh, dogs were domesticated 10s of thousands of years ago. Not by the Native Americans.

At pet mart

Actually wolves and dogs are completely different species (lupine- wolf, canine- dog) and not wild and domesticated versions of the same species

Petco?

Do you think a dog is a wolf?

Good point.

from Africa...

Because it is so organized... OMG so satisfying...

I like it because of those prices!

One small happy: I had a (white European) great uncle who ran a general store in Alabama, US, in the 1930s. He put out a letter in the local newspaper (I have it framed on my wall) that basically said “hey black folks, you can shop at my store and I won’t treat you any different than white folks, I won’t follow you around the shop to watch you, I won’t charge you extra - you are safe here.” :) I also had another great uncle who owned 5 slaves and erased their family history. Guess which great uncle is remembered fondly as a kind and strong man, and which uncle is remembered as an example of embarrassing racist wretchedness? :) (trump supporters, take note! Lol) Edit: my mum recently found the first American names of 3 of my great uncle’s slaves and we are trying to dig up just a lil bit more information before we send the info to American organizations that can help us find who these people were and who their descendants are :) Mary, Thomas, and Marie, we gotcha 🧡

I know what you mean. Such a feeling of well deserved confidence 🤘 we salute you, dude.

Also, the design of the store, the architecture, the signage, the tiles, the way the products are displayed. I can appreciate minimalism, but it seems these days we loose so much character and detail for the sake of being “minimal”. Wish I had a time machine to see it and other things from this time period in person and as the norm, rather than just as leftovers from days gone by.

"our own community"- I love it

His smile is beautiful

1/2pound bacon .10 wow

I get that as well, I think just because it is so lovely to see a truly happy black man in those times.

Yes indeed, yes indeed.

That and the 5 cent coke on sale

He doesn't look staid or pompous as many people did when having their photos back then. Especially proprietors. I would've been a regular customer of his shop

I like the prices!

Or the wine on the right side

it really caught me too.

Or maybe its the fact that milk cost 10 cents

The store is no longer there, unfortunately. I could only find a pic from 2009 and it had a metal roll down/warehouse door and the checkered tile is gone. I did do a Google Street View from last year and it looks worse than it did in 2009. The space looks a little worn down and there is a store called Sarah Ventures Inc, but no sign. The pillar (?) on the right that separates this store from the next is still there. It does look like they are doing a lot of work on this block, with scaffolding on half of the block. Let's hope Sarah Ventures can update the storefront to its former glory! Edit: If you would like to look on street view, the address is 653 Malcolm X Blvd, New York

Unfortunately, there is only one 99 cent store there these days. https://harlembespoke.blogspot.com/2009/10/remember-grocery-story-no-645.html?m=1
