I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1936-1941: Over The Edge” on YouTube 🇺🇲🇺🇲
I’m Watching this now, it’s really bothering me how some people were treated during this era (some are still living in fear). It especially bothered me when I watched a group of 900 refugees, who were trying to escape the Nazis, get turned away from Cuba. They headed there bc they knew ahead of time […]
I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time” on YouTube
I found a playlist off all 15 documentaries in the series. It came out in 1999 and was hosted by Peter Jennings. I’d love to see something similar done for the past 20 years.
I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1914-1919: Shell Shock” on YouTube
The documentary started off on Pier 54 in New York City…. it discussed the departure of the doomed Lusitania, who was sunk by a German U-boat off the coast of Ireland in the Celtic Sea. It showed some disturbing images of children who died in the tragedy. I didn’t like it, they should have omitted […]

I Just Watched “The twenties in Color America in Color The 1920s Smithsonian Channel” on YouTube
I can’t get enough of learning about past decades.. Especially one as recent as just one hundred years ago. It was interesting to see digitally enhanced color video shoots of private parties during prohibition, busy streets in New York City and people just living their every day lives…. all caught on film. I wonder if […]
I’m Watching “What Was The Life Of A Roman Citizen Like? | Meet The Romans | Odyssey” on YouTube
Mary Beard is the presenter, she’s quite interesting. She’s my mom’s age. I added her to my interesting people database… Apparently, she’s quite well known, but this documentary is the first I’ve heard of her. While watching this I had an idea for a history project… I also added a couple of places I’d like […]
I’m Watchimg “Modern Marvels: How Las Vegas Became a City Like No Other (S2, E3) | Full Episode | History” on YouTube
I’m watching a YouTube video titled “Modern Marvels: How Las Vegas Became a City Like No Other (S2, E3) | Full Episode” and heard that he had he lived in a hotel in Las Vegas for 5 years.. That intrigued me so I looked him up.. He did that for a long time.. Living in […]
I Just Watched “THE Moment People First Heard An Automated Voice” on YouTube
There is an entire generation of people who have never experienced life without an automated attendant. I learned in this video that AT&T started experimenting with voice automation in 1991. Several operators are interviewed because they were afraid for their jobs. If you don’t follow David Hoffman on YouTube, I urge you to do so… […]
I Just Watched “The Last Survivors (full film) | FRONTLINE” on YouTube
These are the last witnesses to the holocaust.
