http://www.archives.gov/research/ww2/photos/#iwo In the National Archives collection of World War II photos (located at College park, MD), there are many incredible and powerful images recorded of that terrible conflict. This site has 202 photos listed in 23 different sub-headings. Read the sentence about each photo, click on it and view each photo and pick out the photo from each subheading that impacted/impressed you the most. You will have 23 photos chosen once you are finished. Then pick out ANY seven other photos you wish to give you a total of 30 photos…

Write a paragraph or two about each photo, explaining what it is and WHY you chose it for your list - what specifically about it impressed you the most?

Finally, make a list of your top ten photos and rank them 1 through 10, 1 being THE most impressive of all. To choose and rank your photos, I encourage you to get the advice of friends and family and get their opinions and insights as well…

NOTE - A few of the photos ARE intense in their content, particularly the photos in the Holocaust section - be aware of this before viewing…You MAY choose to not view this section…If you choose not to view this section, you will have 28 photos instead of 30. Please DO NOT view Photo #41 -- It’s content may be offensive and inappropriate.
