Usually, when you read a history article or story, it's mostly just dry facts and your imagination. But an amazing photo gives something a bit different. It shows you how it all actually looked, letting you understand the historical moment more intimately. Whether it would be a historical landmark, a famous person or random old pictures of the past - they all have fascinating stories behind them, and we're just about to show you.

The brave photojournalists that took these interesting pictures saw the morbidity of wars, documented the creation of an atomic bomb and shot stills of most magnificent constructions being built. You might not be aware that the city of Tel-Aviv used to be just plain dunes or how someone looks after literally falling from space. Keep on scrolling to take a look at Bored Panda's list of rare historical photos that might shine a new light on how you saw these crucial moments.

Wondering how historical photos taken in black and white would look if they were restored in color? Check out this article.

Some did some didn't....but whether they knew about the camps or not. They were perfectly aware thatJews were being hauled off to camps. They also knew that once these Jews were put on trains they basically never came back. If these soldiers didn't know they could've at least figured it out that Jews were being offed. Unfortunately these soldiers and most of the German people didn't really care enough to put 2 & 2 together. A lot of American soldiers who have given testimony about liberating these camps said you could smell them for miles around.

Some of you also have to realize, that even if some of these soldiers knew bad things were happening....they were forced into being soldiers under God knows what threats. They were brainwashed into believing that Jews were being sent to work camps, not death camps. I'm sure they knew conditions were not comfortable for the Jews, but most of them had absolutely no utter idea that those people were being tortured thru medical experiments, or that they were flat out annihilating generations of families, and starving to death or dying of whatever gut wrenching disease was running rampant thru the camp. The ones who did know, were brainwashed into believing that the Jews were the reason for the collapse of the life they knew before, and Hitler was there to save them all from its even then the horrors were beyond their imagination.

To all the people saying that they don't all look disgusted: shortly after the end of the war the allied started showing raw footage of what they found at the concentration camps to the german population. They made it mandatory to watch it, however they quickly found that it didn't have the intended effect on most people. Most people didn't seem too bothered by the footage at all. The desired effect only occured after they started showing less horrid pictures in the movies (e.g. showing piles of clothes taken from the people in the camps, rather than piles of starved bodies) because these pictures were just too horrible for the mind to comprehend. I've seen some of these original movies in school and it is really not easy to comprehend that something like that could actually happen and that was probably a lot harder if you had to accept that you tolerated/didn't stop something like this. tl, dr: don't assume they are all evil just because they have blank looks on their face.

I am in no way condoning the atrocity of genocide the German people inflicted on the Jewish people, gays, Catholics, etc. That being said, the one temptation we humans give in to is taking our world view and placing over history. Don't know your age, but I am 50 yrs. old and my father, his father, and all the way up the chain, were stoic, strong, men who did unbelievable things in the face of danger and never spoke of it again. That is how they were brought up, trained and socialized. But, my father was a very compassionate, giving, generous person. My father wouldn't show an expression either, but he would do everything in his power to stop evil and to help the people whose lives were destroyed. Simply put, "Don't judge a book by its cover".

Indeed, nobody is blame free, but I'd check your definitions. Although the first modern concentration camps used to systematically dissuade rebels from fighting are usually attributed to the British during the Boer War, in the Spanish–American War, forts and camps were used by the Spanish in Cuba to separate rebels from their agricultural support bases. They've happened all through history. The USA used them to intern Native Americans in the 1830s, in the Civil war of 1860s, German and Japanese citizens in WW2. The Phillipines The word 'concentration camp' doesn't mean 'extermination camp', though it's now inextricably linked to the notion now thanks to the Nazis. It's emotive to talk of concentration camps, but to link Auschwitz as a 'concentration camp' and therefore the same as those in prior conflicts is disingenuous and revisionist.

Yes, they did horrible horrific things but they were probably also manipulated/lied to by their superiors, probably had their own or their family's lives threatened if they didnt join Hitler, or they were just flat out oblivious. Am i saying i condone what they did or that these reasons make it ok? No, i am not saying that. Not in the slightest, im just saying they probably weren't given much a choice. Sad sad day in history, so many innocent jews taken from their families and killed

Everybody knew what was taking place in Europe, The USA government, even the Pope, etc. Hitler made enough speeches that they all knew what was his plan for not only the Jewish, but all who didn't agree with his way of seeing his Brave New World.
