Try to nil your imageViews before you release. Also before assign the images nil your imageviews so that if you have a image previously in that imageview that memory will be cleared.
Don't load all the Images at the same time. Load images according to the requirement. Post your code in this thread.
You are right your code is leaking memory somewhere.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
