Over 80,000 Jews were murdered

  WARNING GRAPHIC Sometime in 1943, a 35-year-old architect sat at a drafting desk on the third floor of the headquarters building in the infamous Janowska concentration camp in Lviv in what is now Ukraine.  Over 80,000 Jews were murdered at this camp and it served as the main deportation center for 160,000 Jews of Lviv (a number which exceeded the entire Jewish population of the Netherlands). In between doodling and planning the construction of mundane camp structures, this man, Zeev Porath, gazed out over a panorama of horror. Every day Porath was an unwilling audience to performances of unspeakable cruelty. From his elevated vantage point, he could witness these everyday terrors. As a “privileged prisoner,” Porath could move relatively freely throughout the camp, past the everyday torture that characterized Janowska. He had no power to intervene. However, he did the one thing he was trained for: he could draw. His own witnessing drove him also to draw the non-architectural scenes th

  The Koraga are a tribal community found mainly in the Dakshina Kannada, Udupi districts of Karnataka and the Kasaragod district of Kerala, south India.  These areas in Karnataka, are altogether often referred to as Tulunaad, which roughly corresponds to the boundaries of the erstwhile South Canara district.  They are also found in small numbers in adjoining districts of Uttara Kannada, Shimoga and Kodagu. The Koraga are classified by the Government of India as a Scheduled Tribe. The Koraga, who numbered 16,071 according to the 2001 census of India, have their own language, classified as an independent Dravidian language, which is strongly influenced by Tulu, Kannada, Malayalam, languages commonly found in their area. The 1901 census report noted the Koraga as being a lowly tribe of basket-makers and labourers, some of whom were employed as scavengers.  They remain today among the untouchables, being considered as ritually polluted by Hindus, but there have in the past been claims tha

  There was a French city where, during the Middle Ages, the women had an odd habit.  In the morning, married women would put a small dose of poison in the breakfast they had prepared for their husbands. Later on, when their men returned home during the evening, they would be given the antidote. In this way, the poison would not become harmful and affect them. There was a strict reason for this practice. Should the husbands remain elsewhere for too long, as the administration of the antidote got delayed, the men would end up experiencing symptoms like nausea, headaches, depression, vomiting, pain or shortness of breath.  The longer the man delayed to return home to his wife, the sicker he would get. And, ultimately, when he finally returned home, his wife unknowingly gave him the antidote. In this way, within a few minutes, he quickly started feeling better.  All of this worked as a trick, giving men the impression that being away from home would lead to pain and depression. Therefore,

Street vendor selling mummies in Egypt, 1865 .

  Street vendor selling mummies in Egypt, 1865 . During the Victorian era of the 1800s, Napoleon’s conquest of Egypt threw open the Gates of Egypt’s history for the Europeans.  At that time, mummies were not accorded the respect that they deserved from the European elites and in fact, mummies could be purchased from street vendors (as shown in the picture) to be used as the main event for parties and social gatherings that took place in the 18th century. The elites of the era would often hold “Mummy Unwrapping Parties”, which, as the name suggests, had the main theme in which a Mummy would be unwrapped in front of a boisterous audience, cheering and applauding at the same time. During that period of time, the well-preserved remains of ancient Egyptians were routinely ground into a powder and consumed as a medicinal remedy. Indeed, so popular was pulverized mummy that it even instigated a counterfeit trade to meet demand, in which the flesh of beggars was passed off as that of ancient m

  ☞Beware of Ginger Snaps …and Nick Carter, Master Detective! ☞Today in Old-West History -- On today’s date 132 years ago, Thursday, October 9, 1890, infamous Old-West outlaw & train-robber Reuben Houston “Rube” Burrow (1855-1890) met his earthly demise at the age of 34 when he was shot to death on the streets of the town of Linden in Marengo County, Alabama. ☞Rube Burrow & his gang robbed trains all over the South in the 1880s, twice near the frontier town of Marinda in Tarrant County, Texas. On June 4, 1887, Burrow & his gang boarded the Fort Worth bound Texas & Pacific Express at the Ben Brook Railroad Station in the town of Marinda (present-day city of Benbrook). Burrows had the engineer held at gunpoint & forced him to stop the train on the bridge over Mary’s Creek outside the town. This was meant to discourage passengers, who would have to “brave the heights & meagre footing” in order to interfere with the robbery. The bandits then forced the engineer to b

Man Removes Pants To Poo In Middle Of Shopping Centre.

Man Removes Pants To Poo In Middle Of Shopping Centre. In the middle of a shopping mall, a man was filmed removing his trousers and pants and pooing into a plastic bag. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 28, at Singapore’s VivoCity shopping mall. In the video, the man can be seen bending down with his pants around his ankles and several plastic bags on the floor below him. “As my friends and I were walking around in VivoCity, the mall, we saw this man talking a dump in the open and leaving it there in a plastic bag for someone to clean it,” Aki, the man who filmed it, wrote on Facebook after sharing the video. In a second video, brown splodges of poo are seen on the floor next to a red plastic bag filled with poo. “Dude just left his sh*t in a bag,” a voice can be heard shouting. The man was later spotted walking around holding food as if nothing had happened. “After he left the scene, he was acting pretty normally,” Aki said. “He was holding a pack of doughnuts and w

Top 10 Loneliest People In History

  TOP 10 LONELIEST PEOPLE IN HISTORY It is fair to say that many people are feeling isolated at the moment. Even though maintaining your distance is the best way you can show your love for others at the moment humans are by nature social animals and everyone is missing a little human contact. There have been times in history though where people, either by their own choice or very much against their will, have been separated from others. Whether it was for a long time or by a vast distance here are ten of the most isolated people who ever lived. 10) Simeon Stylites Modern saints tend to be viewed as those who go out into the community and help others, expressing the supernatural through their heroic efforts to improve people’s lives. The criteria for sainthood in the ancient world was often quite different. Early saints renounced this world entirely. One of the ways saints did this was to avoid society as much as possible. Monasteries in the desert allowed similarly minded religious

Do Insects Feel Pain?

  Do Insects Feel Pain? Do insects feel pain?  Many of us probably ask ourselves this question.  We swat mosquitoes, step on ants, and spray poison on cockroaches, assuming, or perhaps hoping, that they can’t – but can they?  As someone who studies the physiology behind insect behaviour, I’ve wondered about it myself. Those thoughts motivated me to examine the question from the perspective of evolution, neurobiology and robotics. To find out whether insects feel pain, we first need to agree on what pain is.  Pain is a personal subjective experience that includes negative emotions.  Pain is different from nociception, which is the ability to respond to damaging stimuli.  All organisms have nociception.  Even bacteria can move away from harmful environments such as high pH.  But not all animals feel pain.  The question, then, is do insects have subjective experiences such as emotions and the ability to feel pain? We’ve probably all observed insects struggling in a spider’s web or writhin

 Men Seen Wearing Baby Pampers in Lagos Street. In what seems like a freak movies, a group of Nigerian men was seen wearing baby pampers while waiting to cash out at an ATM stand in Lagos state, Nigeria. Soundwela media reports. Are Nigerian men are going crazy by the day? From eating raw chicken to bathing naked in muddy water to throwing money into river and now wearing baby diapers. What could we call this? Why would matured and healthy-looking young men dress in such way in the public? This is a question that needs an answer. See the video; A source said; this is nothing other than one of the rites they are to perform in their bid to make wealth just as we saw a video of some of them drinking the blood eating the flesh of a fresh chicken recently while the babalawo made incantations.....the quest to make yahoo money has gotten to an all time high, from eating excrements, to stealing undies, barking like dogs now to wearing diapers in public....hmmm its really hard when the devil is

William Butler raids Onaquaga and Unadilla

On This Day in History > October 8, 1778: William Butler raids Onaquaga and Unadilla "On October 8, 1778, William Butler raids Onaquaga and Unadilla, two Iroquois villages used as a base of operations against patriots on New York's frontier during the American Revolution. Onaquaga and Unadilla were ancient Indian villages, but were some of the most advanced Iroquois cities, complete with "good houses, Square logs, Shingles & stone Chimneys, good Floors, glass windows &c." The two towns had 700 residents between them and even had a grist mill and a saw mill. Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, who was educated in the colonies and had family ties to the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs, led allied Indian and Loyalist attacks on the frontier during the Revolution. One such attack on German Flatts (modern Herkimer), drew a request from New York's Governor George Clinton asking George Washington for the use of Continental Army soldiers to retaliate. Washingt

The Hill of Crosses.

Image
  The Hill of Crosses. Many centuries ago people began leaving crosses on a small hill in northern Lithuania, a hill with sacred importance that harkens back to prehistory.  In the mid-19th century, people who lost their lives in battles with Russia were added to the mortuary commemoration.  Despite many ruthless attempts to wipe it off the face of the earth, the Hill of Crosses persists. Today there are hundreds of thousands of crosses, statues, relics, effigies, rosary beads, and other tributes, all of which are said to rattle and chime in a unique cacophony on a windy day. “The hill has many secrets. According to folklore, there was once a church where the hill now stands. During a terrible storm, lightning struck the church and the tempest buried it under sand and rock with everyone still inside.” Vilius Puronas, local historian Kryziu Kalnas or Hill of Crosses is located 12kms outside the city of Siauliai. The city itself was founded in 1236 and in the 14th century was home to Teu

Sarah Baartman

  Sarah Baartman Sarah Baartman.(1789– 29 December 1815), also spelt Sara, sometimes in the diminutive form Saartje , or Saartjie, and Bartman, Bartmann, was a Khoikhoi woman who was exhibited as a freak show attraction in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus, a name which was later attributed to at least one other woman similarly exhibited. The term "Hottentot" was the colonial-era term for the indigenous Khoekoe (formerly known as Khoikhoi) people of the southwestern area of Africa. The women were exhibited for their steatopygic body type uncommon in Western Europe which not only was perceived as a curiosity at that time, but became subject of scientific interest as well as of erotic projection. "Venus" is sometimes used to designate representations of the female body in arts and cultural anthropology, referring to the Roman goddess of love and fertility. "Hottentot" was the name for the Khoi people, now usually considered an offensive term

  A lady in Abia State today set her ex boyfriend ablaze because the latter abandoned her for another girl.  Today being the day of his traditional marriage, she called him over to her place. When he came she poured fuel on him and set him ablaze. Meanwhile, the guy grabbed her and both of them burnt to third degree. As at the time of writing this report, the duo have been rejected by three hospitals and they are currently on their way to Umuahia. Viewers discretion is advised as the pictures below are graphic. Some comments made during the incident 1) The ex girlfriend did not see this coming, now she has tasted from her own poison. That guy was extra sharp even while on fire, must be an action film addict. If they ever survive this, they to marry each other because that initial wedding plan is already a goner. This should be a lesson to cheaters and double daters. 2) This is so bad tho..men pls don't break your woman's heart by Making fake promises...some women are emotionall

Fake Tree Observation Post of WW1

Image
 Fake Tree Observation Post of WW1 Credit: Imperial War Museum in London ----------------------------------------- Because the front was constantly watched by the enemy, one just couldn’t erect a new tree, because any new tree appearing out of nowhere would have instantly drawn attraction and fire.  The fake tree had to replace an existing tree. A dead tree, blasted by a bomb, located ideally near the trenches was chosen.  The tree was then photographed and extensively studied, measurements taken and sketches made. A hollow, steel replica was then made in the workshop far behind the lines.  At night, under the cover of darkness and artillery fire, the real tree was felled and the fake one installed in its place. The artillery fire also drowned out the noise of the work. During the WWI, both sides kept constant watch of the enemy lines for movement, but that was not an easy task. Anyone who stuck his head above the trench parapet for more than a few seconds was shot. So the French start

Nathan Hale’s famous last words were reported to be “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” ☞One might wonder why these two events could be said to be a strange coincidence, other than the two hangings having occurred on the same date -- the curiously-strange thing is that Captain Nathan
