The hunt for Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, 1961

Image
The hunt for Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, 1961 Adolf Eichmann awaited trial in Israel, 1961. Adolf Eichmann inspired Hannah Arendt’s famous phrase  ‘the banality of evil’ . A career civil servant in Nazi Germany, he was put in charge of administering the ‘Final Solution’ and organized the seizure of Jews from all over Europe and their transportation to the concentration camps to be killed. Other observers also thought he brought to the job the same bureaucratic, unemotional, form-filling attention to detail that he would have given to road maintenance, say, or food rationing. Eichmann joined the Nazi Party in April 1932 in Linz (Austria) and rose through the party hierarchy. In November 1932 he became a member of Heinrich Himmler’s SS, the Nazi paramilitary corps, and, on leaving Linz in 1933, he joined the school of the Austrian Legion at Lechfeld, Germany. From January to October 1934 he was attached to an SS unit at Dachau and then was appointed to the SS Sicherh...

Vasily Blokhin: History’s Most Prolific Executioner

Image
Vasily Blokhin: History’s Most Prolific Executioner Vasily Mikhailovich Blokhin. Vasily Blokhin is recorded as having executed tens of thousands of prisoners by his own hand, including his killing of about 7,000 Polish prisoners of war during the Katyn massacre in spring 1940, making him the most prolific official executioner in recorded world history. He was the NKVD major in charge of executing the Polish officers from the Ostashkov camp, and he believed in personally doing the killing that his superiors had ordered him to supervise. Born in 1885, he was known as the NKVD’s chief executioner, having been hand-picked for this position by Joseph Stalin himself. Blokhin personally killed tens of thousands of men and women during Stalin’s Great Purges of the 1930s, so it was only natural that the NKVD would turn to him when it came time to dispatch the officers held in the Soviet prison camps. Along with a team of about thirty NKVD men from Moscow, mainly drivers and pri...

I WENT TO PICK UP MY WIFE AND NEWBORN TWINS FROM THE HOSPITAL — I ONLY FOUND THE BABIES AND A NOTE.

I WENT TO PICK UP MY WIFE AND NEWBORN TWINS FROM THE HOSPITAL — I ONLY FOUND THE BABIES AND A NOTE. I can't explain the excitement I felt as I drove to the hospital to bring Suzie and our newborn twin daughters home. I had spent the past few days decorating the nursery, cooking a big family dinner, and planning the perfect welcome. I even picked up balloons on the way. But when I arrived, my excitement turned into confusion. Suzie wasn't there. I just found our two sleeping daughters and a note. My hands shook as I unfolded it: "Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me." I froze, rereading it over and over. What the hell did this mean? Where was Suzie? I asked the nurse, my voice trembling. "Where's my wife?" "She checked out this morning," the nurse said hesitantly. "She said you knew." Knew? I had no clue. I drove home with the twins, my mind racing, replaying every moment of Suzie's pregn...

THIS WAS MY FACE WHEN I SAW MY STEPMOM ATTEND MY WEDDING IN A FULL-ON WHITE GOWN

THIS WAS MY FACE WHEN I SAW MY STEPMOM ATTEND MY WEDDING IN A FULL-ON WHITE GOWN - MY HUSBAND TAUGHT HER A REAL LESSON Linda's been a drama queen since she married my dad when I was ten. She always wants the spotlight, but I never thought she'd pull something like this. Leading up to the wedding, she kept hinting she wanted a ""big role"" in the ceremony. I brushed it off until the day arrived. I was getting ready when my maid of honor, Sarah, burst in, looking pale. ""You won't believe this,"" she said, dragging me to the window. There was Linda, stepping out of her car in a white, beaded wedding dress. I stormed over to her, freaking out. ""Linda, what are you doing? You can’t wear white to my wedding!"" She just smirked, totally unfazed, ""I wanted to feel like a bride again. White looks so good on me! I deserve this attention.” I was mad, but my husband Tom took my hand and said, "...

I TRANSFERRED THE CAR TO MY MOTHER SO YOU WOULDN’T GET IT IN THE DIVORCE – THEN SHE GOT A sh0ckING RESPONSE Adam smirked, "I transferred the car to my mother so that you wouldn’t get it in the divorce." But Penny simply smiled, knowing she had a plan of her own. Standing by the window, Penny gazed at the black BMW parked outside. The car hadn’t come easy. They had taken out a loan that she and Adam were still paying off – well, mostly Penny, since her husband hadn’t worked for three years. “Staring at the car again?” Adam said lazily, sprawled on the couch, scrolling through his phone. “Admiring the beauty?” "Our beauty?" Penny replied, turning away from the window. "I’m the one paying the loan." “But I’m the one driving it,” Adam grinned. “Or do you think you could drive something like this? Your driver’s license is practically out of date.” Penny fell silent. After five years of marriage, she had gotten used to Adam’s remarks. At first, she th...

A desperate orphan with a suitcase knocked on the door of a restaurant. The owner was stunned when he learned her last name

Image
A desperate orphan with a suitcase knocked on the door of a restaurant. The owner was stunned when he learned her last name. “You will become the brightest star, the most talented of them all. You will be noticed, and your name will appear on every poster.” Sofia cried, burying her face in the blanket covering her father. His hand, weak but still warm, stroked her hair. ""Don't cry, my girl, don't. You can't fool fate. Listen to me, please,"" he whispered. Sofia lifted her tear-streaked face. Her father spoke in a barely audible voice, as though each word was a struggle: ""Just don't interrupt. I have no strength left… There used to be two of us — Mikhail and I, Grigory. We were inseparable friends, we even swore by blood that our friendship would last forever. And then your mother came along. We both fell in love with her. You see, when love comes between people, friendship often takes a back seat. Your mother chose me, and ...
