Thanks for the post. I found these very moving.

Way, way cool. Kids should see these...sometimes it's hard to relate to a place with just old quaint photos, but these can really drive the message home.

I got goosebumps looking at those photos. Thanks, Nucleo.

So awesome! There's a whole Flickr group dedicated to this: Looking Into the Past

These do a very good job of a particular thing: making you realize what an intrusion war is into daily life. It's too easy to look at pictures of WWII destruction and just imagine, hey, this was ages ago and life was rough and primitive and people in Europe were used to being striven and war-torn. But in fact, the appearance of a building crumbled by a bomb in the middle of a residential street was no less horrifying and shocking then than it is today. The normal, comfortable, domestic environments of life being overtaken by destruction is never expected.

Those are pretty intense. Wow.
