I believe that one of the greatest inventions is photography. What a gift it is to have pictures of times gone by, loved ones, places we have been to and to remember history through pictures as well as documents. One of the saddest pictures in this clip was of the Jewish people being “selected” for the gas chamber , the poor mother holding her baby and walking away. The horrors inflicted on those people was unbearable.

It’s interesting to see so many photographs of soldiers caring for small animals. One can only imagine that they were searching desperately for some sense of humanity in the middle of inhumane conditions. The soldier depicted in the great novel All Quiet on the Western Front is shown, after years of unending battle, reaching out from his fox hole trying to pick a lone wildflower on the battlefield. The meaning is profound: searching for something beautiful and familiar in the midst ugliness and horror.

You can really feel the emotion and energy from every photo

My father was a war photographer during the second World War. I don't think he realised the significance of his role at the time but without recording history we would be poorer. We can only imagine the enormity of that period and the tragedy that it was for so many. I don't like photography or moving pictures something creepy about it. Like an invasion of privacy but I appreciate the importance of his role in order to record history.

Thank you for your comment and appreciation. Yes John and Edith's story is amazing. One of the most poignant things to me is that after John's troop had liberated Edith (and her fellow captives), a dance was held to help reintroduce them to a "normal" life and activities. It was there that John asked out Edith. But, he lacked the courage, so asked a friend to ask her to dance for him. She said she'd dance with him only if he came and asked himself !!! ... Which he did. With the horrors they both must have experienced, the simple act of coming together for a dance still required an act of courage. So glad they found each other and had a long happy life together.
