My uncle Luther Frank Mayhue survived the Bataan Death March and internment in a Japanese labor camp. His diary has been submitted to the Library of Congress. All they thought about was food. He used to be a grocery store clerk and he wrote about all the food he'd get if he got back home. His fellow prisoners gave him recipes and he cataloged their names and home addresses, too. The returning soldiers were kept on ships until they had been brought back to health and gained weight.
I hope that guy in the concentration camp got the care he needed to survive. Many were so sick that when Soldiers came & started helping them, at first, a lot still died, they were so weak through starvation, dehydration & dysentry & other illnesses. I saw a very moving programme in which some American men who had been young soldiers at the time, just in their twenties, & a doctor talked about how they had to try to save these poor people. They had virtually no resources. They had to do everything. They had to turn the camps into hospitals. They had to scrub out one hut at a time. Some of the occupants were so weak they couldn't move them for the risk of killing them. They went out to the homes in the area & took blankets from the residents, leaving just 1per person & shamed them into giving clothing & footwear. They built mobile bathrooms & delousing stations. They carried the inmates one at a time into an area where they were laid on a table & stripped, the young soldiers tried to comfort the women by telling them that they reminded them of mum or sister. Then they were deloused, bathed in disinfectant, any wounds or sores were treated as best they could, there was only 1 doctor for a couple of thousand patients. The clothing was taken & burnt unless it was thought to be suitable for boiling. The patients were then bathed, dried & wrapped in clean sheets & blankets.. There were not beds for a lot of them but at least they were now laid on clean floors & the soldiers worked hard bringing them drinks & cleaning them. Things started to turn a corner when someone invented rehydration solution. Some of this time the soldiers fed them from their own rations till all the supplies came through. They tried putting flavourings into thin gruels to convince the people it was a familiar dish & persaude people who had pretty much given up to try to take some nourishment. Many were so weak they had to hold them up & try to feed them. Later more volunteers came to help & they brought in cosmetics to try to interest the women in something. A terrible thing that all this was necessary in the first place but so moving to hear how these young warriors responded to a dire need for gentle, sensitive, personal care. They suddenly had to be nurses to people who were ill & severely traumatised & many very close to death.
Thank you for taking time to share the story. I had not heard it told like this before.

The people in near by town's were forced to walk thru the camp's,to see what was going on right next door.which they ignored.many people vomited,others passed out,from the bodies all over dead or almost.this was done to shame them as well,like this man said in his story.
What so deeply saddens me is mankind engaging in so much war, that we have the capability of being so cruel as to bring animals into it with us. I realize for all the animals that have saved lives in war. But it wasn't their choice about being there and making that sacrifice. So many dogs who were in Afghanistan and especially Iraq have come home with their experience and symptoms of PTSD. And we did that to them by taking them to war in the first place.
You provided us with an absolutely amazing presentation. Each picture was a visual prompt for more of them-each had it's own back story waiting for us to consider. Fantastic. Thank you so much!
I have always enjoyed the history of our world, often wondered how it would have been compared to what we see daily. Thanks for sharing have a great day
6:47 is not likely a hollow tree, it is not wise to have a bench there for relaxation. It is rather the hanging roots gripping the ground, gives the impression of hollow trunk.
The Russian Mother with her two barefooted children - tearjerker !! There is always a very poignant photo that rips your guts out just a bit more than the others. This channel is brilliant. Respect from Québec 🇨🇦
Concentration camps or interment camps? The photo captions state he was lying in his own filth. Ie stool. Dysentery. The allies bombed the food and medical trains to the interment camps. Starving the inmates. Don’t believe everything you see in TV. Infact, turn your tv off. It’s just propaganda anyway.
@jennifer ryerse jones: Yes, that first picture of the inmate who is near death; I hope he survived. And the other picture of the inmates who were liberated; have their legs been amputated? Are they just wearing splints? WTH? Does anybody know? Thanks.
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 I don't have a tv, don't get the newspaper and don't watch news on my computer. What I learned was from school and from the camp survivors I looked after as a nurse.
I graduated high school in 1964. It was not unusual for us to see actual footage of these concentration camps in movies in history classes. They should be shown more regularly in documentaries because you are correct that younger generations need to see them and to believe them.
Unimaginable suffering of the man who was just one of so many millions of the victims of Nazi ideology! And, to have had his picture taken in such a cruel state of indignity. I can’t imagine anyone even being capable of consent in that condition.
Probably not, but there might be one mitigating circumstance: photos were necessary to prove that it happened. No wanted to believe it, especially not countries (like my own, Canada) that had turned away desperate Jewish refugees just a few years earlier,
They wanted to show people what they'd found. This hurts me to see (these photos always have a profound effect on me, and I've been engrossed in the Holocaust since I was a child and I may have been a Jew during that time..yes I believe in reincarnation and I was raised strict Conservative Christian, but I can't explain why as a young child I felt so drawn to the Jewish plight and literally had thoughts that I was Jewish and no one taught me about reincarnation, until I was older when I was taught that was wrong thinking). But you can see a smile on his face and that makes me feel good, knowing he was being rescued. I wonder his name and his life after that photo.
The hockey rink in Korea touched me - These were young men some only boys who were sent to war and just wanted to play l a game - Old men send young men to fight and die
I love how the photos are all random timelines. Shows the beauty yet the ugly of the worlds past. These should be made into books. I would buy them for sure. 😍keep up the good work!
I also did as a child and then took my kids there, soon I'll take my granddaughter there. I also recall playing on the old train at Kits beach and swimming in the saltwater pool there too. Ah the good old days.
@@sm3296 It isn't a tree anymore. It's a dead wooden skeleton held together with an inner metal frame. It couldn't even be classified as a stump. I played on the fire engine and swam in the salt water pool at Second Beach on the Burrard Inlet side of Stanley Park when I was a kid, because we lived in North Vancouver and it was closer. That was in the 80's.
0:12 1930's Pierrot is actually the starlette, "Claudette Colbert" a popular starlet in the 1930's and 1940's. She played "Cleopatra" in 1934 and her costume was considered quite racy at the time. Please make the correction as many of the other starlets are identified in your video.
4:15 If you lived in Southern California, you may remember Diana Ross and Michael Jackson had done a TV commercial together for the local electric appliance store. At the time, Michal Jackson was only a spin-off of Jackson Five before becoming a king of pop.
He was so good looking back then. Shame he had to mess his face up with all the surgery. I wonder what he would have looked like before he died if he had stopped when that photo was taken.
I know what you mean but I've been sitting here thinking how must he be feeling right at that exact moment when the allies said you're going to be ok son your going home! Damn I'm chocking up can't even begin to imagine.
I was an Army brat stationed in Stuttgart, West Germany on August 13, 1961, the day the wall went up. Wasn’t accomplished in a day, but barriers were put in place until it could be fortified with bricks, guards were stationed every some many feet..you were shot if you tried to escape into West Berlin.
Wow, Wakabayashi Akikio gorgeous face, great figure, and those long shapely legs......I have never heard of her until now, but love the picture, and have seen many of these historical pictures of beautiful women, so thanks for including this picture of her!!.....😁
April 1978 In 1947 the government had established the New Zealand National Airways Corporation (NAC), which became the country's primary domestic carrier. In April 1978 NAC merged with Air New Zealand. The enlarged Air New Zealand was the first local airline to offer both international and domestic services. Interesting 😀
@@mariabardo9340 thank you so much, yes of cause that's what it is. When I was a child in England mum and I would listen to the radio. Listening to the music enabled your imagination to soar. Thank you again stay safe💙👍👍
I don't understand. How can you get more sombre than that??? It's an impossibility to involve music to match each and every clip. The only way to match the photos is to have no music at all. I'll vote for that.
You are obviously not a Palestinian are you? And, by the way, why do all the crippled survivors look like they are walking on their knees, all shot from the front notice?
Sarah Strong - I think he is suggesting they are faking their disabilities. Another non-believer? Omg...I wonder how many of y’all are out there? That’s such a scary thought.
Claudette Colbert. Interesting. The shopkeeper seems to be selling bananas. This was an incredibly rare fruit to be commonly available. You never wanted the lower bunk, as those above you had severe diarrhoa and you were the recipient of their liquid shit. At the same time, perhaps he was covered in his own faeces. Keep on with the great work.
I found the photograph of the poor man in Mauthausen extremely powerful and so much so in fact that I had to pause the video. Anything which causes further thought is powerful to some degree
There were various groups of Afghan fighters. If the US had been a little more strategic in exactly which groups they supported (instead of absolutely rejecting all communist or socialist groups completely), well, who knows what the outcome might have been? I’m not a fan of communism, but it seems to me that those groups were first and foremost for Afghanistan, and not interested in becoming a socialist republic under Russia’s thumb. But who knows? I’m obviously just speculating upon hypotheticals.
