From the joy of the liberated Jews to the indignation of the Indian who saw the railway, these pictures will tell about what history is "silent" about.

There have been many great events in history, some of which became known only thanks to the invention of such a useful device as a camera. After tens (and almost hundreds) of years, we - contemporaries of our era - can look at the pictures that came to us from a distant (seemingly) history, and be surprised, smile, sympathize and rejoice with the people depicted on them. We invite you to look at quite rare photos taken at different moments in different places in the past.
