The incredible images tell the unique stories of each person’s life including one woman who was in the truck that hit and killed high-ranking German Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich’s son Klaus in 1943.

The extraordinary portrait photographs are the work of photographer Jan Langer (39) from Opava, Czech Republic.
