Als Fotopionier Sergei Michailowitsch Prokudin-Gorski 1909 im Auftrag des Zaren aufbrach, um dessen Riesenreich in Farbe aufzunehmen, waren ihm Größe und Bedeutung seines Unterfangens sehr wohl bewusst. Seit 1905 verfolgte er den Plan, Russland mit dem von ihm entwickelten Farbfotografieverfahren zu dokumentieren, um allen Russen, besonders aber Schulkindern, ihr riesiges Land nahezubringen. Er bekniete Zar Nikolaus II. schließlich so lange, bis dieser ihm ein mobiles Labor stellte und die nötigen Genehmigungen erteilte. Sechs Jahre lang sollte Prokudin-Gorski schließlich Russland bereisen. Wie die meisten seiner Zeitgenossen hatte er am Anfang seiner Expedition keine Ahnung, wie seine Landsleute in den entfernteren Landesteilen aussahen und lebten. Seine Farbbilder sollten in der Tat nicht nur die diversen Einwohner, Volksgruppen und Siedlungen sowie die Folklore und Landschaften des gewaltigen Reiches dokumentieren, sie sollten nicht weniger als eine gemeinsame Identität für ein ganzes Volk stiften. Die Landschaftsbilder von Prokudin-Gorski reichen von mittelalterlichen Kirchen und Klöstern des alten Russlands bis zu Eisenbahnlinien und Fabriken der damals jungen russischen Industrie. Eines seiner ersten und bekanntesten Porträts zeigt den Schriftsteller Leo Tolstoi. Besonders eindrucksvoll ist aber die Bandbreite der porträtierten Persönlichkeiten: vom Tagelöhner zum Großgrundbesitzer, vom Fährmann bis zum orientalischen Emir, von der jüdischen Familie zum stolzen Donkosaken. Dank seiner fotografischen Meisterschaft und dem Einsatz der Farbfotografie bekommen seine Bilder eine besondere Lebendigkeit und Aktualität. Sie haben über ein Jahrhundert nichts von ihrer faszinierenden Schönheit und Intensität eingebüßt. Nach der Oktoberrevolution floh Sergei Michailowitsch Prokudin-Gorski 1918 über Norwegen und England nach Frankreich, wo er sich in Paris niederließ und dort 1944 starb. Seine Farbfotografien wurden 1948 durch die Library

On May 13, 1939, the luxury liner "St. Louis" sailed from Hamburg, one of the last ships to leave Nazi Germany before World War II erupted. Aboard were 937 Jews--some had already been in concentration camps--who believed they had bought visas to enter Cuba. The voyage of the damned had begun.Before the "St. Louis" was halfway across the Atlantic, a power struggle ensued between the corrupt Cuban immigration minister who issued the visas and his superior, President Bru. The outcome: The refugees would not be allowed to land in Cuba.In America, the Brown Shirts were holding Nazi rallies in Madison Square Garden; anti-Semitic Father Coughlin had an audience of fifteen million. Back in Germany, plans were being laid to implement the final solution. And aboard the "St. Louis," 937 refugees awaited the decision that would determine their fate.Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts have re-created history in this meticulous reconstruction of the voyage of the "St. Louis." Every word of their account is true: the German High Command's ulterior motive in granting permission for the "mission of mercy;" the confrontations between the refugees and the German crewmen; the suicide attempts among the passengers; and the attitudes of those who might have averted the catastrophe, but didn't.In reviewing the work, the "New York Times" was unequivocal: "An extraordinary human document and a suspense story that is hard to put down. But it is more than that. It is a modern allegory, in which the SS "St. Louis" becomes a symbol of the SS "Planet Earth." In this larger sense the book serves a greater purpose than mere drama."

The second of Britain's four-engined bombers to enter frontline service during World War II (1939-1945), Handley Page's Halifax has forever lived in the shadow of Avro's superb Lancaster. However, it was a Halifax which became the first RAF 'heavy' to drop bombs on Germany when No 35 Sqn raided Hamburg on the night of 12/13 March 1941. Between 1941-45, the Halifax completed some 75,532 sorties [compared with the Lancaster's 156,000] with Bomber Command alone, not to mention its sterling work as both a glider tug and paratroop carrier with the Airborne Forces, maritime patrol mount with Coastal Command and covert intruder with the SOE.
