So the whole world is demanding Iran opens up the Strait to all, condemning Iran, threatening Iran... In Cuba, every single person on a ventilator in hospital died overnight, because of Trump blocking fuel. Why aren't you condemning him? Why has there not been a peep?

In a cold room deep inside Auschwitz-Birkenau, a six-year-old girl stood shivering among a group of other terrified children. They had been told they were going for a shower. They had been stripped of their clothes and pushed into the chamber, waiting for the end. But in a rare moment of Nazi bureaucratic chaos, the heavy doors swung open and the guards began to scream. "Get your clothes and go back!" they yelled. For reasons that remain a mystery—perhaps a mechanical failure or a sudden Allied air raid—Tola walked out of the jaws of death, confused but still breathing. Tola Grossman was only four years old when the Nazi liquidation of the Tomaszów Mazowiecki ghetto began. While most children her age were playing with dolls or learning to tie their shoes, Tola—known today as Tova Friedman—was learning how to disappear. Her mother looked her in the eyes and gave her a command that no child should ever have to hear: "Don't breathe, don't move." Hidden in a cramped crawlspace, Tola listened to the heavy boots of soldiers and the screams of neighbors outside. She survived that day, but it was only the beginning of a journey through the darkest valley of human history. In 1944, Tola and her parents were packed into a cattle car and sent to the blackened gates of Auschwitz. The doors opened to a nightmare of barking dogs, black smoke, and a smell that Tola would later describe as "sweet and heavy." Most children under the age of fourteen were sent immediately to the "left"—straight to the gas chambers. By some stroke of luck or a guard's momentary distraction, Tola and her mother were sent to the right. They were tattooed with numbers and stripped of their names. Tola became prisoner 27633. Life in the children’s barracks was a slow descent into starvation. Tola remembers the thin, watery soup and the way the older children would simply stop moving, their eyes turning glassy before they were dragged away. She learned to stay invisible, to never cry, and to follow the silent signals her mother gave her during their brief, stolen moments together. As the Soviet Army drew closer in January 1945, the Nazis began the "Death Marches," forcing prisoners to walk through the freezing Polish winter. Tola’s mother knew her daughter was too weak to survive the trek. In a final, desperate act of courage, she took Tola to the camp infirmary and hid her among a pile of corpses. "Stay very still, Tola," her mother whispered as they lay under a thin, filthy blanket, surrounded by the silence of the dead. When the SS guards poked their heads into the room to check for any living witnesses, they saw only a mountain of bodies and moved on, assuming everyone was gone. When the Soviet soldiers finally broke through the gates of Auschwitz on January 27, 1945, they found a small girl with hollow cheeks and large, haunting eyes staring back at them from the shadows. Tola was one of the very few children left alive to tell the world what had happened. After the war, she moved to the United States, became a social worker, and spent her life helping others process their trauma. She refused to let her number be a mark of shame, turning it instead into a badge of survival. Destiny often intervenes when there is a greater purpose at hand. She did not survive the gas chamber, the starvation, or the mountains of the dead by sheer accident alone. She survived because she had a mission: to be the living memory of those who were silenced. Her life teaches us that when we are spared from the fire, it is so we can carry the light for others. © Reddit #drthehistories

🇺🇦 He dreamed of returning to music after the war. At the front, Dmytro Hladirenko — an orchestra artist and saxophonist of the Chernihiv City Palace of Culture — was killed in action. Eternal memory to the Hero 🕯️

Imagine if, over the past fortnight, the entire population of Birmingham were chased from their homes with only the clothes on their backs by a bunch of psychopaths & they’re now camped out in the Forest of Arden & on Cannock Chase. That’s what the IDF has done in Lebanon.

@GardenBrocante He might, but what do the parents think...😱😝 I found a wonderful percussion set for my nieces (bells, tambourine, shakers: all kinds of stuff), which my sister-in-law firmly closed up and left at Grandma's 😳😖

My grandson is very keen on music and jumps up and down to anything musical! 🤣 I thought he might like this 🤔

On D-Day, one man earned the only Victoria Cross of the entire invasion. His name was Stanley Hollis. A former merchant sailor and lorry driver from Middlesbrough, Hollis landed on Gold Beach on 6 June 1944 with the Green Howards. That morning he charged a German pillbox alone — firing into the slit, climbing on top, throwing grenades — then pushed down a trench and captured a second bunker. Later that day in Crépon, he dragged a Bren gun forward and fired from the hip to draw enemy fire, saving two pinned-down comrades. The only VC awarded for D-Day. Presented by King George VI. Earned before sunset on the longest day. © MilitaryHistoria #drthehistories

I met @lang_lang in Paris 🤯🎹 Today I was playing piano at Gate de Lyon when something incredible happened... Thank you @SteinwayAndSons for allowing us to play piano in the best condition on your amazing two upright pianos!

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

Smoke can clean the air better than some chemicals. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology analyzed the effects of "medicinal smoke" - specifically the combustion of wood and a mixture of odoriferous and medicinal herbs - on airborne pathogens. The goal was to see if natural smoke could function as an atmospheric sterilizer. The findings were significant. The researchers treated a closed room with this medicinal smoke for one hour. They found that it didn't just mask odors; it decimated the bacteria. Within 60 minutes, there was a 94 percent reduction in bacterial counts. Even more surprising was the longevity of the effect. While chemical sprays often evaporate or dissipate quickly, the smoke treatment maintained a cleaner environment for 24 hours in a closed room. In an open room, specific pathogenic bacteria - including Staphylococcus lentus and Enterobacter aerogenes were completely absent even 30 days after the initial treatment. This indicates that the smoke possesses strong bactericidal properties, capable of eliminating diverse plant and human pathogens within a confined space. It challenges the modern assumption that air quality is only improved by filtration, This modern data validates a practice that dates back thousands of years. Indigenous cultures worldwide have long used smoke for purification. In India, the havan ritual involves burning specific herbs to purify the environment, while Aboriginal Australians have performed "smoking ceremonies" for roughly 60,000 years to ward off bad spirits and cleanse the land.
