The number of beautiful, innocent faces in this book is overwhelming. The book cost me $85 but I didn't care - I needed to remember those faces."

All that is known of Anny is what is on her identification card, that she was Jewish, had blonde hair, blue eyes, a rosy complexion and was of moderate height, and that she had a cute little-girl handwriting.

This information is from the book "French Children of the Holocaust: A Memorial" by Serge Klarsfeld, which is a comprehensive collection of photos and information of the 11,000 French-Jewish children who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the innocent lives lost in the Holocaust.

The stràngest marriage in the world was in the 80s, the Swiss Corina Hoffman, on a visit to Kenya 🇰🇪

The stràngest marriage in the world was in the 80s, the Swiss Corina Hoffman, on a visit to Kenya 🇰🇪 In 1986, Hofmann and her boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu warrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible. She left Marco, went back to Switzerland to sell her possessions, and, in 1987, returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did. The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter. Hofmann moved into her mother-in-law's manyatta (compound) and learned to live as a Samburu woman, fetching wood and water. She opened a small shop in the village, to sell basic goods. Hofmann suffered several hardships, including diseases (mainly malaria) and marital problems. Increasingly paranoid jealousy from her husband, possibly a side effect of his addiction to the d.rug khat (miraa), severely damaged her relationship, and in 1990 she decided to return to Switzerland for good, t...

WHO IS THE WORST PERSON TO EVER LIVE ON THIS PLANET?

I vote for Danny Immens. I’ll describe his story, and let you decide. The boy on the left was one of his victims. Thursday, June 24, 1999. For you and me, this was a Thursday like most others. But for 12-year-old Steve Vissers, it would be his very last. And it would end in agony. (If that is the word.) Together with his younger brother, he was riding his bicycle in the park when the man hit him. His mother had forbidden them to ride beyond the bridge, but the boys had decided to go just a little further — what could go wrong, right ? And then the man had hit his bike with his scooter. Nobody was hurt, but the man insisted to drive Steve to a doctor, just in case. Steve refused — twenty years later, his brother Sven would say that it was immediately obvious that something was wrong with the man — and suddenly there was a knife, the man forced Steve on his scooter, and drove away. Steve turned his head, and waved to his brother. And then they were gone. It was the very last time that Sv...

GINA THE TALENTED CYCLIST RESCUE HUNDRED ITALIANS DURING WWII

Gina Rescue mission in world war 2 While he was widely admired for his athletic achievements, few knew about cyclist and two-time Tour de France winner Gino Bartali's rescue efforts during World War II. Germany occupied Italy, its former Axis partner, in 1943. Afterward, Gino used his fame and athleticism to smuggle messages in the handlebars and seat of his bicycle for underground rescue networks. He couriered counterfeit paperwork to Jews in hiding, enabling them to escape deportation to Auschwitz. Gino cycled from Florence throughout much of occupied Italy, sometimes even riding as far as Rome, proudly wearing his Italian racing jersey decorated with his name. Hi hundreds of Italian Jews, then went on to win the Tour de France in 1948, ten years after his first win. Gino did not speak about what he did during the war, sharing just a few details with his son. It was only after Gino's death in 2000 that his rescue efforts became known. In 2013, Yad Vashem ...

THE BLIND GIRL WHO WITHNESS ATOMIC BOMB IN 1945

The girl who got blind by atomic bomb picture of a blind Japanese girl who lost her sight due to witnessing the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The blast killed 66,000 people. Despite the atomic bombs forcing a Japanese surrender, the USA has been heavily criticized over the years for the amount of damage they caused. They also mostly k’illed civilians, who most likely had nothing to do with the war. It was also a stance against communist aggression by the USSR in Manchuria. However, if the bombs were not dropped, an invasion of Japan would have prolonged the war, and at least 2,000,000 US troops would have d’ied, according to calculations, as well as millions of the Japanese, allied fighters, and other sources of soldiers. It is easily one of the most divisive topics of World War II if the bombs should have been dropped or not. This has been only 1 out of 2 nuclear attacks in history.
