The Niland brothers were four American brothers from Tonawanda, New York, serving in the military during World War II. Of the four, two survived the war, but for a time it was believed that only one, Frederick Niland, had survived. Frederick was sent back to the United States to complete his service and only later learned that his brother Edward, missing and presumed dead, was actually captive in a Japanese POW camp in Burma. Steven Spielberg's film Saving Private Ryan is loosely based on the brothers' story.

Anne Frank is one of the most renowned and most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Acknowledged for the quality of her writing, her diary has become one of the world's most widely read books, and has been the basis for several plays and films.

This image was taken in former concentration camp Bergen Belsen in Germany where she died a month before this former Nazi concentration camp was liberated.

People leave toys like teddybears but also flowers and letters here.

The reflection of the sky is not photoshopped, it was a bright day which made the sky in the background too bright because I focused on the reflection of the sky on the stone
