7. It looks like a pic from the disasterous Vienna summit, the one that almost incinerated

the world.

11. It's great to have old pics in good condition. My family has a lot but

they aren't in as good shape as that.

12. I read an interview not long ago with one of her surviving children.

It was interesting... wish I could remember where it was.

13. I remember when I first saw this one

in a photo book that my parents bought. I can't remember the title of it now, but I do believe it was Life magazine pictures. This was horribly shocking to me.

14. And to think some people question that it happened.

:mad: I believe that might be the one that shows Elie Wiesel in the background- I know he is in one of the well-known photos.

15. Yes, it is the Elie Wiesel photo..

This one just always stuck with me more than any others, I guess because it was my first exposure to the horrors of WW II.
