Came across this so I thought I'd post it on here.

Superb Marcus.

Thanks for that, and maximum credit to the photographer, artists, & builders of the website.

Cheers,
Adam.

I agree. I think some of the photos are quite 'eerie' and the artwork is beauty. A good find.

Just been looking back through them, and I just wanted to say how good the comparisons are. If you look closesly at the detail in some of the photos, then compare to the artwork, some of the detail that's been captured is truly amazing. As good as a couple of then & now photos.

I have learned more about the war in the last few months than in my previous 60+ years, but have yet to pluck up the courage to read the Holocaust section. I therefore clicked your thread with some trepidation. I wouldn't pretend to know anything about Art but that was truly moving.
Thanks

Utterly brilliant.
Excellent find, Marcus.
Depressing and fascinating at the same time.

Well done! __________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
