In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, we share this powerful image from our RNS Collection of Pres Jimmy Carter (right) embracing Simon Wiesenthal. He's just awarded the Holocaust survivor a gold medal for the 3 decades Wiesenthal spent hunting Nazis post-liberation.

Look at these lovebirds. From the caption of this photo, taken from the RNS Photo Collection, we know that Ova and Viola Gilkison, who live "deep in the heart of Appalachia" have "found love is the only solvent they can afford for the stresses of life." Happy Valentine's Day!

Martin Luther died on this day in 1546—leaving behind a legacy so strong that over 400 years later folks are sporting t-shirts emblazoned with his face! Today's RNS photo is from Minneapolis' 1974 Renaissance-Reformation themed "Festival of Rediscovery."
