Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
"Anne Frank had white privilege"
U.S. history rarely includes the Holocaust or the general anti-Semitism of THE WORLD in the 20s & 30s.
Please read about the S.S. St. Louis, 1938 Refugee Convention, "Father Charles Coughlin", and many other well documented events and figures.
The war wasn't about the Holocaust. It was about defeating Fascism. Good load of that it did us but, The people of the times knew what was happening. Through telegram, radio, and newspaper. Only in 1944 did FDR create the War Refuge Board.
1933-1944. How many perished.

@Halo_VFX Hello! Im quite new to vfx and think youre work is amazing!
When you mean "ready to put into the scene", is it better to build separate parts, render them, then drop them into your main scene?
Kind of like exporting a raw file into a jpg? Then using that to add to another work?
The President of the United States reaffirmed people's beliefs of a stolen ellection before calling for these people to leave the Capitol. Fanning the flames yet asking for peace. What a disgrace.
