Book Burnings in Germany, 1933 On May 10, 1933, university students in 34 university towns across Germany burned over 25,000 books. The works of Jewish authors like Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud went up in flames alongside blacklisted American authors such as Ernest Hemingway and Helen Keller, while students gave the Nazi salute. In Berlin 40,000 people gathered to hear German Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels give a speech in Berlin's Opera Square. He declared "the era of extreme Jewish intellectualism is now at an end. ... The future German man will not just be a man of books, but a man of character. It is to this end that we want to educate you. ... And thus you do well in this midnight hour to commit to the flames the evil spirit of the past." Radio stations broadcast the Berlin speeches, songs, and ceremonial incantations to countless German listeners. Widespread newspaper coverage called the "Action against the Un-German S

'Rapists' are stripped naked and paraded through the streets as women slap them after 'attacking a 17-year-old girl' in India Two men accused of raping a 17-year-old girl were paraded naked through the streets with their hands tied behind their backs as women slapped them.  The pair were led through the streets of Yingkiong in far northeastern India by an angry mob before they were handed over to local police. 'It seems the public did such a thing before handing the two to the police,' Police Deputy Inspector General John Neihlaia said. He said the teenage victim agreed to go out with one of the men after befriending him on social media, but claimed he and three of his friends raped her. After they were finished the men allegedly dropped her home about 2am and the brave girl went to the police the next morning. 'Meanwhile, the victim's relatives and neighbours caught two of the accused and handed them over to the police,' Inspector General Neih

Abduction of a Sabine Woman or Rape of the Sabine Women

Image
The Rape of the Sabine Women also known as the Abduction of the Sabine Women or the Kidnapping of the Sabine Women, was an incident in Roman mythology in which the men of Rome committed a mass abduction of young women from the other cities in the region. Full story According to Roman historian Livy, the abduction of Sabine women occurred in the early history of Rome shortly after its founding in the mid-8th century BC and was perpetrated by Romulus and his predominantly male followers; it is said that after the foundation of the city, the population consisted solely of Latins and other Italic people, in particular male bandits. With Rome growing at such a steady rate in comparison to its neighbors, Romulus became concerned with maintaining the city's strength. His main concern was that with few women inhabitants there would be no chance of sustaining the city's population, without which Rome might not last longer than a generation.  On the advice of the Senate, the Romans then

Hanging

Image
Hanging Until 1858 , the procedure of hanging was not regulated by any law or decree. How the hanging was carried out depended solely on local circumstances and decisions made by local officials in charge. No special apparatus (gallows) was used for hangings. The hanging rope would most often be tied to a tree branch and the victim would either be hoisted up or placed on an improvised platform which would then be kicked out from under his feet. There were no professional or official hangmen. This work was usually done by policemen or by men who served as servants and/or bodyguards to local dignitaries in charge of executions. From 1858 to 1930  there were no hangings in Serbia, as the only legal method of execution in this period was shooting. When the Yugoslav Kingdom was created  in 1918 , its Western provinces (today's Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) retained Austrian laws, under which death sentences were executed by hanging, performed by a professional  han

Uncovered Accounts Of How Jews Were Killed By The Nazis 'for Fun', Or 'out Of Anger, Boredom, Drunkenness', Or 'to Rape The Girls'.

Blood oozed through the soil at sites of these graves, according to accounts assiduously collected by French Catholic priest, Father Patrick Desbois, who began his search by seeking to trace his grandfather's experience as a prisoner of war held in a concentration camp by the Nazis in Ukraine during the Second World War. He uncovered accounts of how Jews were killed by the Nazis 'for fun', or 'out of anger, boredom, drunkenness', or 'to rape the girls'. Yet the Soviet Union, for its own motives, obscured the full scale of the Holocaust on its own territory. Leading historian Mikhail Tyaglyy told MailOnline the number of Jewish victims in Ukraine is between 1.4million and 1.6million, significantly higher than the oft-quoted figure of around one million. The priest's search took him to four sites around Rava Ruska, close to the Ukrainian border with Poland, where 15,000 Jews were slain, and also the site of a Nazi camp where his grandfather Claudius Desboi
