The terrible death of Czeslawa Kwoka.

Reading This, Made Me So Upset A Beautiful Little Girl Subjected To A Monster That Decided That Anything Related To The Jewish Culture Was Obsolete How Minimal Was Hitlers Minset To Concur He Was To Be An Exercutioner To A Human Race.


Her name was Czeslawa Kwoka, and her crime was being Polish, Catholic, and 14 years old.  Her red triangle was for political prisoners, because of where she was born in Poland.  

After this photo was taken, she was killed in Auschwitz extermination camp on March 12, 1943 with a phenol injection in the heart.

Just before the execution, she was photographed by prisoner Wilhelm Brasse, who would later testify against the executioner of Czeslawa, a woman.  

Just before the photo, the executioner punched Czeslawa in the face, as the hematoma on her lip shows.

This is the face of a terrified little girl, who didn't even speak the language of her executioner.   She had lost her mother a few days before. 

But she dried her tears to look presentable for the photo.  They took her hair and her life, but they couldn’t take her dignity.

Perched atop the deck of a ship in the year 1910, a sailor shares a moment of companionship with the ship's cat and its tiny kitten. Throughout maritime history, ship's cats have been valued members of crews, providing both practical assistance and emotional support to sailors during their voyages. Beyond their role as cherished companions, these feline sailors played a crucial role in maintaining the ship's integrity and protecting its cargo. With their keen hunting instincts, ship's cats helped control the rodent population aboard, safeguarding vital supplies and equipment from damage. Their presence also brought a sense of comfort and camaraderie to sailors far from home, offering a brief respite from the rigors of life at sea. In this timeless scene, we glimpse the enduring bond between seafarers and their feline companions, a testament to the shared journeys and mutual reliance that defined life aboard the ship.

One day, a math teacher from Minnesota gave her students the following assignment:  One day, a math teacher from Minnesota gave her students the following assignment:  make a class list, think about what they like most about each of their classmates, and write down this quality next to their last name.  At the end of the lesson she collected the lists. It was on Friday.  Over the weekend, she processed the results and on Monday distributed to each student a piece of paper on which she listed all the good things that their classmates noticed in him. The guys were reading, and here and there a whisper was heard: “Is this really all about me? I didn’t know I was loved so much. They didn't discuss the results in class, but the teacher knew she had achieved her goal. Her students believed in themselves.   A few years later, one of these guys died in Vietnam. He was buried in his homeland, Minnesota.  Friends, former classmates, and teachers came to say goodbye t...

🇺🇲A Salute to Melvin E Biddle. Recipient of   Congressional Medal of Honor and Hero of the Battle of the Bulge. Serving as lead scout during an attack to relieve the enemy-encircled town of Hotton, Pfc. Biddle aggressively penetrated a densely wooded area, advanced 400 yards until he came within range of intense enemy rifle fire, and within 20 yards of enemy positions killed three snipers with unerring marksmanship. Courageously continuing his advance an additional 200 yards, he discovered a hostile machinegun position and dispatched its two occupants.  He then located the approximate position of a well-concealed enemy machinegun nest, and crawling forward threw hand grenades which killed two Germans and fatally wounded a third. After signaling his company to advance, he entered a determined line of enemy defense, coolly and deliberately shifted his position, and shot three more enemy soldiers.  Undaunted by enemy fire, he crawled within 20 yards of a machinegun ne...

On this day 10th March 1945.

On this day 10th March 1945. 67 Germans tunneled out of a prisoners of war camp at Bridgend, Glamorgan, Wales, United kIngdom; all were captured within a week, including two who were caught by an unarmed girl working with the Auxiliary Territorial Service. From the outset, those in charge at Island Farm were acutely aware of the risk of escape by the prisoners and the potential risks that an escape would pose. Sabotage of vital war work was feared as the camp was within a mile of the munitions factory which employed 39,000 and in the heart of industrial south Wales which was so crucial to the war effort. Their fears were well founded. In January 1945, a tunnel was discovered and though the camp commander and guards realised that it was likely to be a diversionary tunnel, they failed to find the other. It was through this second tunnel, with its entrance in Hut 9, that the officers made their escape in March 1945. On 10 March, the German soldiers gathered in the hut to make their wa...

1944: The Hurtgen Forest - slaughter of the U.S army on German soil... 79 years ago today in 1944, a bloody clash of arms that was set to become the longest single battle ever fought by the U.S army and the longest battle of the war fought on German soil began as American troops entered the jaws of the Hürtgen Forest.  Though largely overshadowed due to the wider coverage given to the subsequent Battle of the Bulge, the battle at Hürtgen was to be one of the fiercest fought on the Western Front with many soldiers coming to call it the ‘Death Factory’ or ‘Meat Grinder’ of the U.S army (U.S troops pictured). In the aftermath of the D-Day landings, Allied forces had swept over much of France and the Low Countries in a seemingly unstoppable tide.  Within a couple of months, they were faced with the western frontier of the Reich itself.  Eager to keep the momentum going and to defeat the enemy as swiftly as possible, the Americans chose to cross the Rhine and invade Germany....
