#1 The newsreels that broke her open were the ones that showed the war was finally over. They had married as soon as their autumn plans came together: a Midsummer’s Day ceremony at the Caxton Hall register office in Westminster.

#2 In 1945, Michael was discharged from the army and returned to his home in London with his wife Philippa. They were aware of the first newspaper pictures and newsreel footage from the Nazi concentration camps, but their minds were too full to think about what they were calling a moral duty.

#3 The British public was shocked by the footage from the concentration camps, and the Ministry of Information had not allowed publication of graphic images during the war to protect morale, but also to maintain public trust.

#4 After the war, Philippa Foot began thinking about ethics and how it could be applied to the camps. Nothing in the moral philosophy of her time was adequate to what she’d just seen.
