These photos are so known that it is enough to type "boy 1939" or "sister 1939" to get the right image. A boy on the ruins of Warsaw 1939.     Photos by Julien Bryan, American corespondent in Poland, he deserves a seperate thread. |

Very sobering, but necessary to see so people do not forget what humans can do to each other... I am afraid that is the lesson people have been unable to learn. We are animals in fact, only more intelligent than other. |

We are animals in fact, only more intelligent than other. Yes, we have intelligence, the ability to reason, and free-will. All characteristics that should help us to learn from our mistakes...that's why we have to keep educating the youth about the past so they can know what those mistakes were/are. (I'm trying to be optimistic here...) |
