Taxi to Hell
This eerie photograph is titled "Taxis to Hell- and Back- Into the Jaws of Death." It wasn't taken by a risky photographer though. During Operation Overlord, Robert F. Sargent was the one to snap this famous photograph. His role was the United States Coast Guard chief petty officer as well as the "photography mate." He never knew this picture would impact history...
Warsaw Ghettos
The invasion of Poland saw many deaths of Jewish people. Over 400,000 Jewish Poles were trapped within only a square mile of Warsaw. Sealed off by brick walls, barbed wire, and a small army of guards, Warsaw became a ghetto by 1940. Eastern Europe soon became littered with other ghettos like this. Though some attempted revolt, they were mostly helpless to the forces.
