These films are not about nations nor the political difference among nations. They are concerned with the people who lived in different cities which were subjected to the devastation of the Second World War. The films demonstrate the miraculous reliance and spirit of the people who endured bombardment and saturation bombing in the years 1939-1945, and describe the annihilation of social barriers and the growth of a common morale in the common struggle to survive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison went through exactly the same thing. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Use them.
And then try again.
What are some lessons learned from history?
History has taught us three important lessons. The first is that you have to do it yourself if you want to change the world. You must make sure people are ready to change the way they live. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. When you fight for it, you focus on winning and lose sight of why you started fighting in the first place.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you try to convince someone, you will fail. But if you set out to inspire someone to action, you'll succeed.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.
The second lesson is that we all have a choice. You can either let your life happen or you can choose to make it happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Or do you want to be in control of your destiny?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. Or you could just sit back and wait for someone to give you a gift card to Home Depot. You can also ask yourself: "What would my dream job be?" You can then search for a job where you can do it. Next, apply for financing.
Now, let's say you wanted to travel the world. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. You'd then book a ticket.
Let's suppose you don't know what you want. You'd likely end up doing one of these things anyway. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is that regardless of what happens next, there are always ways to improve the future. This is because it's simple. Our choices shape who we are and who we become.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
You're already behind if you don't think you have anything to offer the world. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small, and work your way up. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What have your failures been? What has been your greatest success? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Remember that you are the only one who can limit your potential. No matter how much anyone tells, you can achieve anything you set your mind.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes repeatedly. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. Our world is conditioned to believe there are immutable laws and fixed truths. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. The ability to question authority. Challenge assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. Stamina is when we continue to make the same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. Nothing is unchangeable. Everything is constantly changing.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may not reach your goals. Acceptance of this fact is okay. But, don't let it stop you from striving to improve.
If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. To move forward, you must give up control.
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
This question is not easy to answer. When thinking about learning, there are three key points you should consider. The first is to realize that knowledge can be power. Second, knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power because it empowers us to make better decisions and improve our lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We would do exactly what we wanted, regardless of whether it was right and wrong.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Information is constantly changing. Every day, scientists discover new facts, theories, and ways of thinking. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Technology allows us to quickly access knowledge, and is crucial for our culture. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
Globalization has influenced the way we look at knowledge, in addition to technology. Globalization is the process of ideas and products spreading across borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
Anyone can access any information on the internet. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more accessible but also more specialized. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites have information on every topic.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts are often experts in a specific field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
Because they don't have to look through tons of unimportant information, this is a good thing for consumers. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. He expects the author of a book to have a thorough knowledge of his subject to provide a clear and concise explanation. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.
It's not necessary to be a specialist in only one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Experts argue that specialization is so common that it's impossible for one person to be an expert in all aspects of the same thing.
How do you become an expert on multiple subjects? The answer is simple: practice. To learn anything, you have to practice. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.

How To
What can humankind learn from the past mistakes of our ancestors?
We've been to this place before and will likely return. Learning from history is a good thing. It might even be a way for humanity to survive another crisis.
We can make it if we are open-minded and seek out lessons that will help us move forward.
The problem is when we fail to learn from the past and refuse to acknowledge that human nature hasn't changed much since the beginning of time.
There's a lot of wisdom in the old ways, but we tend to ignore them because they conflict with our beliefs. We choose to stay stuck with the things we know, rather than embrace changes we find hard.
But the world continues to change and our lives are constantly evolving. Our environment is becoming more complex. We have more problems.
That means we have to adapt. We're more likely to fail if we don't use the same strategies as before.
When we do that, we lose sight of our values and become slaves to our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt to conditions that existed thousands of years ago. But those days aren't gone forever.
The future isn’t set in stone. There are still many areas for improvement.
Humans are still capable of great feats. We can create amazing technologies. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.
And yet, we often choose to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To think that what worked yesterday will still work tomorrow.
This is what some people do to combat it. They view themselves as soldiers against the status. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They consider themselves rebels and take pride in challenging convention. Who challenge the norms and conventions of society.
They rebel against rules and regulations. They don't like conformity. They don't care much about social expectations. They think they are superior to everyone else.
To them, I say "Good Luck!"
You'll need it!
Because you are facing an uphill battle. These forces are strong and drive mainstream society.
The majority of people in many countries around the world are not interested in your views. No interest in listening to your point.
It doesn't matter if you're brilliant or well-intentioned. Your ideas might not resonate with the masses.
Your message could be lost on the ears of deaf people. This is why you will need to learn from history.
This is where you can really make a difference. This is where you can truly make a difference.
This is where you can inspire others to follow their dreams. This is where you can create movements that transform society.
Let me ask, what do you want? Is it your goal to live up the other person's expectations all of the time? Would you prefer to choose your own path?
