50 Important Historical Photos That Might Change Your Perspective On Things, As Shared By This Facebook Page

No one is born a racist!!! its taught behaviour

Colour of the skin does not matter.

Children are so pure. They don’t take much notice of differences unless it’s pointed out & expressed as being abnormal (which it certainly isn’t in this instance). If only we could all keep such purity & innocence alive in our hearts, the world would be a better place. 🥺💖🤷‍♀️

I'm 56 and from South Carolina. Ever since I was a child I treated everyone the same. From 1st thru 3rd grade I went to a predominantly black school. I was the only white child in my class all 3 years. The children there didn't treat me differently because I was white. I learned as a child the art of mutual respect. This is a beautiful photo. I do agree with others who have posted that racism is taught and not something someone is born with.

yeah, if only it was still MUTUAL

Some of the survivors reunited in 2005. You can click on their names to get more of their stories and Gabi Neumann's who did extensive research including giving a background on the picture which included "Q: Tell me about the famous photograph in which you appear. A: The picture was taken a few days after liberation. I don’t remember exactly how many. It is a completely staged photograph. The Russians walked around the blocks calling on us to be photographed. My sister didn’t want to be photographed, so she isn’t in the picture. I was curious, and allowed my picture to be taken. You can see that they dressed us in prisoner uniforms that were a few sizes too big for us. Underneath the prisoner uniforms we wore the rags that we had. But because of this picture, I found my family. The Russians took my details and that’s how my mother found my sister and me later on." https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/through-the-lens/auschwitz-child-survivors.asp

There is a UK BBC drama documentary called The Windermere Children which is about a group of child Holocaust survivors who were brought to England after the war. Some were adopted by English families, and some were reunited with their own families eventually. The survivors, now very elderly, appeared at the end of the film to tell their stories. It's an incredibly disturbing but moving film, and it's important that they aren't forgotten.

I visited Auschwitz's ruins and museum. it was the worst and the best experience in my life. Guides have a lot of stories from survivors. It is unbelievable what this people were able to survive and that wardens/other people in general were able of such unspeakable crimes. And similar things are happening currently somewhere else. Terrible.

The Kashmiri Hindu Pandits never even got the chance to talk about their genocide. Neither were there anyone to listen.

Any attempt at genocide is deplorable. I've seen documentaries detailing the horrible things that happened at these concentration camps. Very disturbing!

Furry companions of war probably made a huge difference we will never truly appreciate ♥

I love this photo. I imagine having a dog around during war was very much a blessing for the troops.

Beagles(?) make everything better ♥️

Stray/homeless dogs and cats in war areas regularly attach themselves to a military unit, and a lucky few got adopted by a soldier and were brought home after the soldier was discharged.

Beautiful photo!

Couldn't help but giggling with the little papoose ... even in photos laughs are infectious.

If you could hear a picture.....this is it

She has kind eyes

stunning place, i have to say

You can see her Emmy statue on top of the TV.

Betty......❤️❤️

What a great, cozy home.

This is a great photo. I really enjoyed the gift Betty White gave the world thru her acting. She was also very involved with different animal charities.

Nice to see The Beatles before they were famous.

This is so sweet!
