Picture from an German soldier’s personal album, labelled on the back as the “Last Jew of Vinnitsa". It shows a member of Einsatzgruppe D just about to shoot a Jewish man, kneeling before a filled mass grave in Vinnitsa, Ukraine, in September of 1941, the Jewish New Year. All 28,000 Jews from Vinnitsa and its surrounding areas were massacred at the time.
The Jewish population dated back to the 16th century and had made up 40 percent of the town's inhabitants.

'The Falling Man' - a photograph taken by Richard Drew at 9:41:15 a.m., on 11 September 2001 showing one of the many people who jumped from the WTC towers.
Five years after the attacks, Jonathan Briley, a 43-year-old employee of the Windows on the World, was identified by chef Michael Lomonaco as The Falling Man. Briley was a sound engineer who lived outside of Manhattan, in Mount Vernon, and worked in the North Tower restaurant.

This picture of Phan Thị Kim Phúc, born in 1963, was taken when she was 9 after she was severely burnt during a napalm attack on her village on 8 June 1972.
Taken by Nick Út, who earned a Pulitzer Prize for it, this photograph became one the most famous images of the Vietnam War.

Reopened. Let's keep this on-topic and not too gory, ok?
George W being told of the 9/11 attacks.
George W getting it all wrong, something that would become a familiar trait in his presidency.
Battle of the Somme 1916. One soldier carries his friend/comrade on his back:
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
German soldiers on the way to Stalingrad:
German soldiers in Stalingrad - the downfall of the Wehrmacht and the turning point of the war. See the two in the background looking to the sky for help?
