Sos.dem. Työläisnuorisoliiton liittojuhlat Hämeenlinnassa 5-6 p. kesäk. 1927

Very few events and occasions of the Finnish labor movement were photographed in the 1920s and 30s. Here is a rarity from the summer of 1927. The main speaker at the union celebration is the veteran, rouser and educator of the Finnish labor movement, Doctor of Philosophy N. R. af Ursin (1854-1936). There is a unique sequence of images: the military section of the army, led by a band, meets the union celebration procession.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
