These are always tough to watch. Poseidon put out a few of these videos recently. I can't really watch them for very long. There's something really viceral that flips on inside me.

I find them moving as well. I realize the picture they show is idealized but watching them is like seeing a homeland to which you can never return.

What makes this footage particularly poignant is the global situation with WWII just around the corner.

It is also interesting to talk to elderly people — the thing that I am constantly struck by is how carefree, social, and high trust societies were.
