Award-winning documentary 𝙐𝙣𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣 presents the miraculous true story of the seven Weber siblings, ages 6-18, who evaded certain capture and death following their mother’s incarceration and murder at Auschwitz, and ultimately escaped Nazi Germany relying solely on their youthful bravado and the kindness of strangers.

In the film, Beth Lane, daughter of the youngest Weber sibling, embarks on a quest to retrace their steps, seeking answers to long-held questions about her family’s survival. The film is Beth Lane’s directorial debut and a very personal journey.

The image shows a family of four individuals inside and near a makeshift tent. The structure is simple, with fabric walls supported by wooden poles and stakes into the ground for stability.

Within the tent, there's a woman in front who appears to be standing guard or observing their surroundings attentively. She has her hand raised up close to her face, possibly wiping her nose or mouth. Her expression seems contemplative or worried. The other three individuals are outside of the tent: one child is seated on wooden boxes with his head down and eyes closed as if he might be asleep or resting; another small boy stands beside him looking out towards something beyond the frame with a neutral posture, while an older girl holds what looks like a broom upright in her right hand. They all wear long-sleeved shirts suitable for cooler weather.

Outside of the tent is another adult man seated on wooden boxes pouring contents from one bucket into another. He's dressed warmly and seems engaged in his task with focused attention to it, indicating that he might be trying to cook or prepare a meal despite their circumstances. In front of him lies an old-fashioned metal bucket filled with what could possibly be food supplies.

The environment around them appears quite barren; there is not much vegetation visible except for some grass patches on the ground and part of another tent in the  [...]

As the United States retreats from its postwar leadership role under Donald Trump, Japan must overcome domestic constraints and step up with partners to help sustain the global order it has long quietly supported. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2025/12/31/it-is-japans-time-to-step-out/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #us #donaldtrump #nationalsecuritystrategy #worldwarii #apec #shinzoabe #tpp #china #africa #developmentaid #article9 #constitution #coldwar #sanaetakaichi #taiwan #shinzoabe

"Many #Americans know of #JosefStalin’s Terror of the late 1930s, during which more than 1 million people were arrested for #politicalcrimes, and over 680,000 #executed.

Fewer know about the repressions that began after #WorldWarII and ended with #Stalin’s death in 1953. Much like the repressions of the 1930s, they involved fabricated #plots, #arrests, coerced #confessions and #purges. Unlike the Terror of the 1930s, they were accompanied by a wave of #statesponsored #antisemitism – including the purge of #Jews from multiple occupations and unwritten quotas that limited their professional and educational opportunities.

The abolition of the #Jewish #AntiFascist Committee on Nov. 20, 1948, and the arrest and execution of its members was central to this postwar #assault."

US #Holocaust #Museum announced temporary closure of exhibit detailing #UnitedStates turned away #Jewish #refugees during #worldwarii This decision reportedly follows an order from #Trump to vet #Smithsonian museums for content considered to be #antiamerican. Closure of the exhibit, which highlights a critical historical narrative, has sparked a conversation about the boundaries of such vetting processes and their impact on historical education. @NoLieWithBTC: Museum closes exhibit #censorship

It seems evident that the two bombs would be dropped to confirm their relative effectiveness before Japan could realistically respond. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/08/06/japan/were-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-bombings-necessary/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #worldwarii#atomicbombing #hiroshima #nagasaki
