Prohibition and the IRS
The IRS was in charge of enforcing Prohibition. This is Dr. A. B. Adams, head of the division of technology of the Internal Revenue, working at his desk during Prohibition. Lots of paperwork - thank goodness they didn't have computers or we wouldn't have bars today! Probably taken before Elliot Ness was around.

Life in the 1940s
From World War 2 through the declaration of peace and into the birth of the Baby Boomers, life in the 1940's wasn't easy. But our parents and grandparents lived their lives with courage, honor, and great optimism about the future. The war and the Great Depression was over, the Dust Bowl was gone - almost 20 years of tough challenges - and life was good again. These are some of the many 1940s photos that shows what the previous generations lived through, and what they did to thrive.

Anne Frank's Diary Published in English 65 Years Later
During World War II, one young teenage girl's whole world was a small annex in which she lived with 7 other people. All Jewish, they were hiding from the Nazis. Just previous to this, she had been given a diary and she began writing in it about her daily life. While initially published in 1947, in 1952 her (edited) diary was made into a book in the United States and generations since have been riveted by her insights and experiences. Anne Frank, although she died at 15, is now known throughout the world and she has helped generations of young people understand the ravages of bigotry and hate through her book "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl".

Pearl Harbor - A Day That Will Live In Infamy
On Sunday, December 7th 1941, the Japanese nation launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, a U.S. naval base in Hawaii. On Monday December 8th, President Franklin Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress, calling the attack "a date which will live in infamy". An hour later Congress declared war on Japan - thus entering World War 2 and a war against all the Axis powers. These photos below are from the actual attack, and show the destruction, hurt, and sorrow on this day that has lived in infamy.
