OTD in 1948, Palestinian terrorists ambushed a medical convoy bound for Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. They massacred 79 people including doctors, nurses and patients. They then set the ambulances on fire. The world was silent.

Roger Fortson should be celebrating his 25th birthday today with his loved ones, but instead, his family is forced to honor his memory. U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Roger was shot and killed in his own home by a Florida deputy who went to the wrong apartment. This is a painful reminder of how quickly a life can be taken and a family forever changed. On what should be a joyful milestone, we say his name and continue to demand truth, accountability, and justice. Say His Name: Roger Fortson.

She was only 23 years old when the war asked everything of her—and she gave it without hesitation. Violette Szabo lived between two worlds—French and British, ordinary and extraordinary. Before the war, she was a shop girl, a young wife, a mother. But when her husband, Étienne Szabo, was killed in North Africa, grief didn’t break her—it hardened into purpose. She joined the Special Operations Executive, one of the most dangerous branches of wartime intelligence. These were not missions with guarantees. They were parachutes into occupied territory, whispered codes, and the constant shadow of betrayal. Her first mission to France in 1944 was a success—coordinating with the Resistance, relaying intelligence, helping disrupt Nazi operations. But it was her second mission that would define her legacy. Dropped into central France just days after D-Day, Violette was tasked with helping Resistance fighters slow German reinforcements. It was chaos—roads crawling with enemy troops, villages under watch, danger everywhere. When her group was ambushed by German forces, she didn’t run. She stayed. Armed with a Sten gun, she held off advancing soldiers, buying precious time for her comrades to escape. A young mother, alone in a field, standing her ground against an army. It wasn’t survival she was thinking about—it was the mission. She was eventually captured, interrogated, and deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp—a place designed to strip women of identity, dignity, and hope. Even there, she resisted. Witnesses later spoke of her defiance under brutal conditions. She never broke. Never gave them what they wanted. On February 5, 1945, she was executed. But here’s what stays with you—Violette Szabo didn’t just fight the enemy. She defied every expectation placed on women of her time. She proved that courage doesn’t wait for permission. It acts, even when the cost is everything. She left behind a daughter who would grow up knowing her mother wasn’t just brave—she was unstoppable. © Reddit #drthehistories

"He was sociable, loved sports, and dreamed of peace," said teacher Tamara Mahlovana about 8yo Bohdan Serheiev. The boy was killed by the russian drone on the evening of April 14 while playing with other boys on a playground in Cherkasy. Acc to emergency services, doctors fought for his life for over an hour, but could not save him. The playground, where children's laughter could be heard just yesterday, has now become a place of mourning — over again. Residents are bringing toys to the site, and a day of mourning has been declared in the city. This is unbearable. Source: Suspilne.

On the banks of the Danube River in Budapest stand 60 pairs of iron shoes, men’s, women’s, and children’s sizes. They mark the exact spot where thousands of Jews were forced to remove their shoes before being shot into the freezing river by Hungarian Arrow Cross fascists during the Holocaust. These empty shoes are a silent, haunting memorial. A quiet reminder of unimaginable evil. Never Again.

What Vance says is a blunt confirmation of what we already knew: this US administration is fully aligned with the russian enemy. Crimes against humanity and genocide mean nothing to him. Murder and deportation of children leave him cold. Morally despicable & strategically inept.

More than 2500 Yazidi women are still missing . “Where are our men, woman, children? We know that they are still in Syria, but they’re too scared to say they’re Yazidis” says Layla, who endured two years in captivity in Syria, before her brother was able to ransom her from ISIS.

This day in 1945, troops of the British 11th Armoured Division liberated the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The British discovered approx. 60,000 prisoners inside, and another 13,000 corpses lying around the camp. #WW2

The "village idiot" who became a Righteous Among the Nations Anton Sukhinski was a reclusive outcast in Zboriv (modern-day Ukraine). He lived in deep poverty and was constantly mocked by neighbors for his gentle nature and love for all living creatures. But when moral standards collapsed and the masses turned a blind eye to the Jewish people, or actively joined the atrocities, Anton stood his ground. Defying the cruelty around him, he maintained his basic humanity. Completely alone, he managed to save six lives. He built a tiny underground hideout. For 9 grueling months, those six people were crammed into a pitch-black pit, lit only by a small kerosene lamp. Anton scavenged for whatever food he could find and manually emptied their waste, an almost impossible task for such an impoverished man. The danger was immense. Local police once interrogated him, and another time, Nazis searched the basement right next to the hideout while the hidden Jews stuffed rags in their mouths to stay silent. Then, liberation day arrived. The hatch opened. After a moment of pure terror, fearing the Nazis had finally found them, they were met with Anton’s kind, smiling eyes. For the first time in 9 months, they climbed out of the earth. Anton Sukhinski was recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations in 1974. May we always remember the good people that were standing against evil.

From the Kovno ghetto to Birkenau, Dachau, and Mauthausen -through death marches and unimaginable loss - Arnold Clevs survived. He witnessed the horrors of the camps, including Dr. Mengele’s crimes, until his liberation on May 5 by the American army. It is a privilege to hear the stories of survivors and this story must be heard.

The silent hero who saved Jewish children with mime. Marcel Marceau — the world’s greatest mime — was once Marcel Mangel, a Jewish teenager in Nazi-occupied France. Born in 1923 in Strasbourg, his father Charles (a kosher butcher) was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944 and murdered in Auschwitz. As a teen (ages 16–21), Marcel joined the French Resistance with his brother and cousin Georges Loinger. He helped rescue at least 70–100+ Jewish children, smuggling them to safety in Switzerland. He forged identity documents, disguised the children as boy scouts on a “camping trip,” and led them on dangerous hikes across the border. The kids were terrified. One sound could mean discovery and death. So Marcel used his emerging talent for performance: he mimed stories, made funny faces, and acted out silent scenes to distract and calm them — keeping them completely quiet. He later said: “I cried every time we succeeded.” For 60 years after the war, he rarely spoke about it. He wanted to be remembered for his art, not his heroism. He created the iconic “Bip the Clown,” toured the world, influenced artists like Michael Jackson, and mastered the “art of silence.” In 2001, at age 78, he finally revealed his wartime story. Marcel Marceau died in 2007 at 84. He is remembered as the master of mime — poetry without words. But he was also a teenage hero who risked everything to save Jewish children from the Holocaust using nothing but silence and expression. True courage often speaks without a sound. Remember Marcel Marceau — not just for the silence, but for the lives he saved. May his memory be a blessing.❤️

She is just a 4-year-old girl. The Islamic regime terrorists executed her father Vahid Mohammadlu in January this year, along with tens of thousands of protesters. No one in Europe seems to care. Please share if you do!

Marie-Thérèse is 86 years old. Handcuffed. Wrists and ankles. Sitting in an ICE detention facility in Louisiana with roughly 70 other detainees. She has heart problems. She has a bad back. Her children in France didn’t know where she was for a week. Here’s why: Sixty years ago she fell in love with an American soldier. They lost each other. They found each other again. They got married. Billy was a retired U.S. Army colonel. Billy died in January. Marie-Thérèse had a green card application pending. Then there was an inheritance dispute with Billy’s son. Billy’s son reportedly called ICE. DHS called her “an illegal alien from France.” This is what we’re doing to the 86-year-old widow of an American veteran. What exactly are we protecting? #DemsUnited #Veterans

Zinaida Portnova is known for having taken the lives of more than 100 Nazis by poisoning their food at just 16 years of age. She was captured by the Gestapo, and while being interrogated, she disarmed the Nazi detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she executed 2 more Nazis.

Eden Ben Rubi (23) was a girl full of love. She loved music and painting. Eden was brutally killed by Hamas on October 7th while hiding in fear. Hamas executed, massacred and raped Israeli citizens, simply because they were Israelis. I’ll never forget. I’ll never forgive.

125,000 animals are killed every year for trophies. Shameful and barbaric. There should be a worldwide ban on trophy hunting.
