In one of the most infamous pictures of  WWII, a member of the SS prepares to shoot a Jewish woman with her back to him, desperate to protect her child.  A single bullet from his rifle was sufficient for both at such intimate range.  Anecdotes say that the shooter - a Hungarian Auxiliary - was drunk when he did this, and upon sobering up, was so horrified at his deed that he committed suicide.

'I’ve asked myself again and again whether it wouldn’t have been better if we hadn’t gone into hiding, if we were dead now and didn’t have to go through this misery, especially so that the others could be spared the burden.

We still love life, we haven’t yet forgotten the voice of nature, and we keep hoping, hoping for…everything.' - Anne Frank at age 11, 1941 Films, Anne Boleyn, Anne Frank, Harriet Tubman, Florence Nightingale, Anne, Marie Antoinette, Anna, 1940s
