Through the Lens of Time
A Poetical Historical Journey through World War II Few events in our shared human history have left as deep an imprint on the world as World War II. This global conflict, with its far-reaching impacts, was a time of unparalleled bravery, of unimaginable sacrifice, and of humanity’s darkest and brightest moments. It was a period that pushed the boundaries of human endurance and resilience, forever altering the course of our collective history.
These Videos, “Through the Lens of Time: My Poetical Historical Journey through World War II,” is my attempt to bring you closer to this monumental period in history, not through the detached gaze of a historian, but through the intimate lens of Poetry and Art.
