Rare and Moving Historical Photos

The boy from the thumbnail...so much pain and misery...so much heartache and fear...his young life is one we cannot comprehend. I just want to reach through and make him feel safe, loved and nurtured. Bless his soul...sending you love little man. 🥰🙁👍🏽🌹😘💕😥

[@aarongottfried5595]

so what exactly was happening then since you know ?

[@pangorban1]

I can't see the Star of David in the photo anywhere. Can you tell me where it is? Otherwise, I'm inclined to think the photo has been interpreted to fit a certain narrative. It looks like the kids on the left are queueing up to have their photo taken. Some have roller skates on, indicating they were interrupted during play to pose for a photo. The kid looks sad and uncomfortable, but it could be because he's feeling self-conscious about having his photo taken in front of his friends, who are probably teasing him. All the kids look to be Jewish or Eastern European. In the absence of a time, place and date for the photo, we don't know the context. It could be New York for all we know.

[@margaretrowe4261]

A photograph. A split second of someone's life. All these people lived full lives as we do. A hundred years from now people will look at our images and lament we're gone. Time is an odd thing.

[@PunkNetrunner]

@@AmazingHistoricalPhotos Time is relative, but I don't think it's an illusion. Time is the 4th dimension. We cannot control it cuz we are 3D beings. Then again holographic universe theory exists and maybe this is all an illusion. If it is, death is also an illusion. Energy cannot be destroyed only changed.

I love these photos. The two that made me chuckle were the "painless dentist" and elastic underwear malfunction 😂

That old soldier would have had so many stories to tell throughout his life I'm sure

[@AmazingHistoricalPhotos]

They all do... But most rarely speak of it.... My grandad never talked about it and he was at Dunkirk and Monte Cassino ... We can't even imagine the stories they have.

[@StarchildMagic]

I love talking with older people and hearing their stories. Not just about noteworthy events they've lived through, but the simple stories too. Memories of their childhoods, how they met their spouses, adventures they went on...our grandmothers and grandfathers are living history books.

[@AmazingHistoricalPhotos]

I went to a memorial day service recently and got to speak to a 102 year old surviving wwII veteran. They are leaving us fast and not many left so it was extremely emotional to be in the presence of such a character.

WOW. Houdini was buff, back in the day. :58 -- Oh ,what Mr. Baillot could have told us, about Napoleon and the battle of Waterloo, IF only he had been interviewed!!! I love how you gave credence, credibility and tribute to those that were photographed. It not only makes them more real. It also makes them more, real. Also, kudos to you for putting context to each of the photos and explaining exactly what we all are seeing. This is a big help in understanding the context of each of these long forgotten photographs

Need to say, chimney sweeps used underage children to go down chimneys. They had a rope around their waists so they could be pulled out if they suffocated. Not like dancing sweeps in movie. Horrific.

The Sherman tank seen at 9:20 is not just any old Sherman. It is the Firefly- armed with the British high-velocity 17 pounder main gun, - certain death for any German tank unlucky enough to be within 2000m.

[@AmazingHistoricalPhotos]

Thank you for the deeper info on that. Yes, as I understand it, they took the solid and reliable US M4 Sherman and upgraded the gun with the British 76.2mm calibre, 17 pounder, which made it the beast that it was.

Good pictures, enjoy music adaptation, but the LARGE captions at the start kind of diminish the first impressions of the picture… if added later, smaller, would make it more profound, allow some imagination, reflection, and focus… the initial writing draws the viewer away from what should be the focus… just a suggestion.

[@AmazingHistoricalPhotos]

Thank you for your feedback. We always welcome suggestions. In this case I have tried different sizes and formats but this current one is the most popular with most of the audience. As much as I try, it's impossible to please everyone. The title is there for half the video so the best recourse would be to pause for the second half of a photo when the banner disappears to take it in a bot more. Doesn't have that initial impact but at least the photo can be enjoyed for however long you want.
