65 Rare Photos That Show How Strange And Different The Past Really Was (New Pics)
Did you know that in the 1980s, there was a chimp at the Belgrade Zoo that escaped not once but twice? His name was Sami, and he became famous in 1988 when a photographer snapped a picture of him and the zoo director, Vukosav Bojovic, "conversing" on the roof. Bojovic attempted to coax the animal to come back, resulting in a pretty sweet moment.
This story is still circulating online thanks to the online community r/Historycord.

There was a big problem with American GIs leaving behind their pregnant Asian girlfriends/wives during WW2/Korea/Vietnam because mixed babies weren't accepted in those societies and were ostracized. Many times the women didn't know her GI's full name or his birthday, or really anything about him, and many Amerasians were abandoned (or worse). At least THIS GI stepped up to the plate and many DID acknowledge their Asian families but finally the US government made it easier for Amerasians to get to the USA when they passed the Amerasian Homecoming Act.
So, what happened to Sami the chimpanzee? During his first escape, Mr. Bojovic took Sami by the hand, put him in his car, and drove him back to the zoo. The chimp had made it to Students' Square. His second attempt at an escape didn't end that peacefully – the zookeepers had to use tranquilizer darts.
Sadly, Sami passed away in 1992, and he lived in Belgrade Zoo for a total of four years from 1988. In 1996, the Zoo erected a sculpture in honor of Sami, which still stands there to this day. Newspapers referred to Sami as a "dissident," as many Yugoslavians found his captures and detention at the Zoo poetically similar to their own lives under communism.

The 1948 photo of a man begging his wife not to divorce him is a real piece of history. It started making the rounds on Reddit in 2024, but the historian who uncovered this photo, Jeff Nichols, talked to Business Insider about it. The couple in the photograph is Steve and Anna Strack. Anna was the one who filed for divorce, citing "habitual drunkenness" as the reason.
In those times, spouses had to give the court a considerable reason for going through with the divorce. Yet, in Chicago, divorces were pretty common. According to Nichols's research, the apparently lax divorce laws were a regional joke, prompting people to make jokes such as: "Oh, people in Chicago just get divorced as a problem to have."
Anna Strack also talked with the Chicago Tribune about her divorce at the time, since the photo was printed in the publication. She told them that she would think over her decision. However, the 1950 census showed them as a divorced couple, and Anna lived with her parents and their 4-year-old son and worked as a packer at a gum factory.

We can't tell exactly, but we know that their marriage was quite controversial back in the day. Helen was the second wife of Frederick Douglass, the first one being Anna Murray Douglass for 40 years.
After her passing, Douglass fell into a deep depression. Helen is said to have helped him regain his good spirits. However, Douglass's kids opposed the marriage, and Helen's family didn't like her marrying a Black man. The public didn't react favorably, either: some accused Douglass of "forgetting his cause" by marrying a white woman; others denounced the 21-year age gap between the spouses.

Most of the Arabs there are from ones who came in the 1800s and 1900s (650,000 during the British period alone) and 400k in the late Ottoman Period (Mostly from Syria and Egypt, though some from Iraq, and Arabia)

Thank you, Adrienne! The issue is not Jews and Arabs getting along but the fact that some terrorists and even gouvernments like Iran have a first constitution of wiping out Jews and Israel. Nobody is denying Gazans their right of existence. But let us not identify all Gazans with Hamas terrorists! Hamas terrorises everyone, including their own people. And I, myself, would have no idea how to negotiate anything with a party that has only one goal in life, and that is to destroy me. Of course, like in every people there are good people and f*ck people, so also with Jews and Palestinians alike. Here in the Netherlands Geert Wilders called every moroccan a "kutmarokkaan", well, Geert is a "kutnederlander", I could go on with a list of presidents that do NOT represent their people. Let us not judge people by their etnicity or representatives, but by their own deeds.

actually we do not know if there are both Jews and Arabs, as the original picture was never identified with who it was. Now 5 male and 2 of the female figures are dressed in what Jews there wore at the time, 1 of the men is wearing a Tarbush, which while traditionally arab, Jews from Syria did wear them as well, and of the women 1 is dressed in what could be arab and 2 are dressed in non-descript garb. Some people have used the Tarbush on that one man and the middle woman whose dress could be arab, as a way to say it is both Jews and Arab together. However we can only confirm its Jews, with the others possibly being Jews from Syria who moved to Jaffa (which many did at that time) as well

However, many experts shut down ideas about Calment's falsified age. Although they admit that a person living until 122 is extremely unlikely from a biological standpoint, they note that perhaps too much had to be faked in Jeanne's case.

The colour photography process involved taking three separate black and white images through three coloured filters (red, green, and blue), and then projecting slides of those three images onto a screen through separate red, green, and blue filters. The Library of Congress has digitized 2,607 of them, using computer image processing to recreate the colours as best they can. Link follows.

Family Portrait Taken 118 Years Ago. February 13, 1905

I'd bet that was an extended family. My Mom (born 1919) was one of ten or eleven kids, most of whom also went on to have large families. Our annual family get-together was held at our farm, because we were the only place with enough room. A light turnout was 80 - 100 people. But our pickup softball games were *incredible*!

Some of you may be as curious as I was about this Jewish photographer: The Jewish photographer who famously photographed Joseph Goebbels was Alfred Eisenstaedt, and he survived the N**i era by fleeing Germany to the U.S., becoming a renowned Life Magazine photographer, known for his iconic images, and lived to be 96, passing away in 1995. He captured the tense portrait of Goebbels at a 1933 League of Nations conference, after which Eisenstaedt and his family emigrated to escape N**i oppression.

Load More Replies... Forrest Hobbs 1 day ago (edited)
'Agfachrome Shot Of A Blonde Lady In Norway, 1943' - right, so that's a German colour film process in German occupied Norway. This is actual photographic evidence of her collaborating with the Názis because only the Názi invaders had access to this technology. Come the end of the war, lots of attractive young Norwegian women ended up deeply regretting having hooked up with German boyfriends. Dagmar Lahlum was identified as one such, and while her boyfriend really was in the German army, he was also English and a double agent working with the Norwegian resistance (he'd been dishonorably discharged from the British army in the early 1930s - you should look him up). Eddie Chapman - loyal to Britain while also being an unrepentant career criminal and, er, quite keen on the ladies. He went back to England leaving Dagmar to suffer undeserved stigma. 'His British Secret Service handlers codenamed him Agent Zigzag in acknowledgement of his erratic personal history.' Links follow.

Ben: the Norden Bómb Sight really was very good, but many of the claims were hype from the manufacturer to promote sales. It combined a mechanical computer and autopilot functions - very, very advanced for the time. One even more advanced feature of the B-29 was the air gunnery equipment, which involved more computers and remote controlled gunnery pods: point the gunsight at the target, and the computer ensures that you hit the target - no need for the gunner to judge how much to offset the aiming point. That kit is part of the reason the B-29 development programme cost more than the Manhattan project.
