Title: Gut wrenching historical photos Post by: lucky_scrote on August 09, 2014, 10:02:12 PM Came across this on stumbleupon, often compilation of photos with this type of heading often leads to only a couple of good pictures but almost every one of these are incredible.
Which image do you find most 'Gut wrenching' or shocking? For me it has to be number 6, partially because I read the short book "Escape from camp 14". All images are SFW with possibly an exception for the sports injury one which I did not look at since I don't like gruesome injuries. www.thoughtcatalog.com/erin-cossetta/2014/07/gut-wrenching-photos-that-will-leave-you-speechless Title: Re: Gut wrenching historical photos Post by: Marky147 on August 09, 2014, 11:40:05 PM Can't get it to open atm, but will try again later.

The fact they are wedding rings which are symbols of love etc, make it worse I think I saw some breathtaking things at Auschwitz. Mountains of human hair, prosthetic limbs, spectacles, baby clothes etc. Auschwitz was just one of a string of death factories, working 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. But of course, it could never happen again....

I'm not normally one to dwell on such things, but the rings have been occupying my thoughts all morning. Powerful photo.

One is just a little shocking. You don't see any actual injury just a lot of blood. However the the one from Haiti is of a dead child being thrown onto a heap of other dead children/people and I can imagine this might be quite disturbing for some people.
