So brave. This tiny little girl.

Beautiful.

A rather intriguing pair of photos given Monet's reputation for the study of light and its colors; the world then who couldn't see his art in person can only see black and white images, completely nullifying the genius of his artistry.

Can't believe I've never seen this gem before

Am I the only one that finds him extremely attractive ?

I never knew what she looked like

1940: Frances Green, Margaret (Peg) Kirchner, Ann Waldner and Blanche Osborn leaving their plane, "Pistol Packin' Mama," at the four-engine school at Lockbourne AAF, Ohio, during WASP ferry training B-17 Flying Fortress.

I LOVE that chair!

The detail! I'm amazed.

"White Death " because this Finnish sniper record 505 confirmed kills. He survived a bullet in the head and lived 96 years.

Their father had abducted them from their mother and then he drowned. The mother was found and took them back in the end.

Brow goals.

Unfortunately, she never made out of the war alive. She was killed by a shell fragment in January 1945, just three months before the end of the war...

No idea what a Dik-Dik is, but it's adorable.

and the only woman, Madam Curie

Damn handsome

that was actually broadcast in colour

He looks like he just graduated high school!

Ra Ra Rasputin - Boney M

These are all beautifully done, but in this shot, I feel like the artistry of capturing the light and shadow is lost altogether. It has less impact in colour.

The guy on the left looks petrified..

I almost didn't recognize Chaplin here

How many of these people descendants are today's racists, anti-immigration and xenophobics?

We're all the descendants of immigrants.

just wait for her to start cooking)

Its sad how much motherhood (and multiple births) aged women in the past. She is probably not even 40.

I would love to know how this proud mamas life turned out in America....

just after this they bought 2 acres in manhatten.

Even though they made it to America, I still feel sad for this woman and what lies ahead for her. Conditions in NYC at that time (for immigrants) was dismal. They probably all lived in a one or two room apt. without running water or even a toilet. And we know that birth control wasn't available to prevent future pregnancies.

Vito Carleone ...

the beautiful work of dorothea lange

Is his tie knitted?!

A stirring voice for freedom unless one has the misfortune of being Irish.

So, Kaiser Wilhelm II was Victoria's grand son, Nicolas II maried Victoria's grand daughter... the familly meetings must have been fun after 1914.

He just always looks so emaciated, cadaverous and frankly unwell

She was an extraordinary woman - she escaped from Auschwitz in 1942, and while she was recaptured in 1943 and brought back, she survived. It's unclear what happened to her after the war. Let's just hope she didn't die at the hands of the Soviets like many others who were rescued from Nazi camps just to end up in Soviet ones...

How can fools look at these pictures & deny the Holocaust? It's beyond me!

Now that's something we probably wouldn't see today...young boys hanging on an old veteran's every word. Or boys working at such young ages. But look at the shine on the old man's boot. The boy did a good job!

Aurevoir Shoshana!!

Some of them settled in Italy after the war, and married italian women. One of the best italian saxophonist James Senese (06-01-45), is half italian and half american, like we used to say in the past, "a war's child". james-sene...e-750.jpeg

Imagine what we could do for him now!!! I mean I know he's probably not alive anymore but ya

Greatness!!

This is a tough one to see.

Alexandra of Denmark.

I still love and miss Dr King. I sure wish he was here.

Their leader, Jake McNeice was part Choctaw, and he applied their tribes strong warrior aethetic to his men. These guys infiltrated behind enemy lines to destroy support and supply lines during the war. Very low survivor rate.

In the color one the kids are looking down... But in the original they are looking to the front. Did someone else realized?

That is Anne's Frank father and the only one from the family to have survived the Nazi camps. He is pictured here in the attic of the Secret Annex on the 3rd May 1960, the day the Anne Frank House was officially opened to the public.

The second picture looks much more impressive. Well taken picture.
