  5. A woman named Irene Vivash stated behind to finish records of dead and Mia so the families back home would have am answer.  
  6. Woman like Irene Vivash did their jobs without protection. While that's negative, it's a positive that they were so brave.  
  7. First atomic bomb happened.

Something negative I read

  1. Ally forces bombed civilian areas

  5. Slavs and Roma were used as slave labour.
