I Just Watched “Great War: Christmas Truce (WWI Documentary)”

I Just Watched “Eleanor Roosevelt: Former First Lady with a Restless Spirit | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube
This came out in 1994 on the “Biography” Channel. I did not know much about Elanor Roosevelt until I watched this… She lived a separate life from her husband and let him be with his long term mistress. She was a devoted social advocate who rallied for John F. Kennedy before she died. I found […]
I Just Watched “Amelia Earhart: Queen Of The Air | Full Documentary | Biography” on YouTube

I Just Watched “Berlin Wall Guards Tell Harrowing Tales Of East Germany | Our History” on YouTube
This was very interesting…. and also heart breaking at the same time. It came out in 1991, so not long after the wall had fallen. At the end, one of the guards thought he may have to eventually face charges from the West. One part that really touched me was a former guard who shot […]
