There are photos that speak for themselves, and there are also those that require more context for us to really appreciate them. These 25 fascinating photos may seem ordinary or odd at first glance, but once you read the stories behind them, everything automatically falls into place, and a new poignant level of meaning to these photos is revealed.
1. "John Thompson was home alone when he had both his arms ripped off in a farming accident. However, he still managed to get up and dial for help by holding a pencil in his mouth. He survived and both his arms were reattached."
4. "These so-called wine windows were used by vintners in Italy to sell wine during plague pandemics in the 17th century. Now they are coming back to use due to coronavirus."
11. "Certain fish skin can be grafted onto burns and diabetic wounds. The material recruits the body's own cells and is converted eventually into living tissue."
18. A photo of Terry Fox, a 21-year-old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer during his east to west cross-Canada run. Fox raised money for cancer research and spread awareness about cancer.
22. "This is the only existing photo of Chernobyl taken on the morning of the nuclear accident. The heavy grain is due to the huge amount of radiation in the air that began to destroy the camera film the second it was exposed."
25. And last, but definitely not least: these three Jewish men arrived in Auschwitz on the same day and were tattooed 10 numbers apart. 73 years later, they were reunited for the first time
