The victim without a name; the 9 year old girl ran from her burning Vietnamese yelling “Too hot! Too hot!” Her village was struck with napalm which in turn stuck to her clothes and burnt through her flesh. The soldier on the right is checking his camera, without a care in the world. 

Elizabeth Eckford is one of the Little Rock Nine; a group of African-American students who, in 1957, were the first black students ever to attend classes at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. 

When Muhammad Ali floored Sonny Liston in their title-bout rematch in Lewiston, Maine, on May 25, 1965, a legend was born. Or, perhaps more accurately, a legendary boxing controversy was born. Ali (the former Cassius Clay, who had taken his now-famous Muslim name after defeating Liston in their first title bout in 1964) knocked Liston out with a first-round right hand to the head that, all these years later, is still known as the “phantom punch.” 

The Hindenburg disaster at Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937 brought an abrupt end to the age of the rigid airship. The hydrogen airships were highly flammable, so it shouldn’t have been much of a surprise. 

Che Guevera shown on the concrete slab on which he was left after his execution. The officials made the execution fit the story which had been fabricated, saying he was killed in action. As a result they shot him in suitable places. His hands were cut off after this photo was taken for fingerprint identification. 

The photo that means scientists can smile. On Einstein's 72nd birthday on March 14, 1951, UPI photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead. 

Margaret Bourke-White had to first learn how to use the spinning wheel before she was allowed to take a picture. Gandhi did not speak as it was his day of silence and Margaret was only allowed three bulbs, two of which failed. The last was a success and this picture is that success.

1896, Athens. The first international Olympic Games ever held in the Modern era. As Ancient Greece was the birthplace of the Olympic Games, Athens was considered to be an appropriate choice to stage the inaugural modern Games. 

Photographer Joe Rosenthal admitted that when he took a shot of five Marines and one Navy corpsman raising the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima’s Mt. Suribachi on 23 February 1945, he had no idea that he had captured something extraordinary. He was setting up for a different shot when he spotted the group of men planting the flag and quickly took a snap without even looking through the viewfinder. The chance photo would become iconic overnight and go on to win the Pulitzer Prize. 

Standing in front of a column of tanks, no one around him, he was all alone with his shopping bags in his hands. He climbed on top of the tank, banged on the lid and said get out of my city, you're not wanted here. Tank Man, or the Unknown Rebel, is the nickname of an anonymous man who became internationally famous when he was videotaped and photographed during the Tienanmen Square protests on 5 June 1989.

It’s a quiet, intimate image. And compositionally sound: the “jumper” is upside down, perfectly vertical, straddling the upper third of the frame and splitting the North and South Towers. The Falling Man seems relaxed. In control. Content. This was a result of the tragic terrorist attack, widely remembered as 9/11. 

This 1930 photo shows the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Marion, Indiana. The two men were accused of raping a white woman; after they were killed they were found to be innocent. Even today, there have been recent cases of lynching based on racial prejudice. 

This photograph by Marc Riboud, shows the young pacifist Jane Rose Kasmir placing a flower on the bayonets of guards at the Pentagon in protest against the Vietnam War. This photograph became the symbol of the flower power movement. 

That tackle, that save: Bobby Moore (left) swaps shirts with Pele after the epic 1970 World Cup encounter between England and Brazil in Guadalajara, Mexico. This image represents what should have been the end of racism in football, sports and life. 

In March 1993, photographer Kevin Carter made a trip to southern Sudan, where he took the iconic photo of a vulture preying upon an emaciated Sudanese toddler near the village of Ayod. Carter said he waited about 20 minutes, hoping that the vulture would spread its wings. It didn’t. After leaving the girl, he was struck with guilt and committed suicide three months later. 

This 9-year-old Iraqi boy was severely injured by an explosion during the Iraq War. The boy was brought to a hospital in Oakland, Calif, where he had to undergo dozens of life-and-death surgeries. His courage and unwillingness to die gave him the nickname: Saleh Khalaf, “Lion Heart”.

Yehudit and Lea
Dr. Mengele conducted his experiments in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Identical twins were separated from the rest of the prisoners. Twins had the best living conditions until they were loaded into the truck that was taking them to the experiments. Twins were measured and examined every day to see any difference. Experiments done on twins were cruel and disgusting.
