Can’t Destroy His Spirit
The man you see in the picture is Georges Blind. He is smiling as he waits for the German firing squad to end his life. True to the French Resistance he was a part of, he defies the Nazis right until his final moment.

Burning The Belsen Concentration Camp
When British soldiers arrived at the Bergen-Belsen camp, they were met with the head of the camp and some 50 or so other guards who didn’t flee like the rest of them. The camp was infested with typhus and as a result many of the prisoners were still dying on a daily basis after their liberation. The British ordered the guards, at gunpoint, to bury the bodies in a mass grave, forcing them to do so without protective gloves. After the burials were complete and the survivors delouse, a British general ordered his soldiers to burn the camp.
