Holocaust victim

 A picture of a snake that looks like it has eaten a human-sized meal has been taking the internet by storm. The enormous python is pictured after eating a snack that some suggest was a person. According to the Daily Mail, the origin of the picture is in question, with a number of suggestions as to where it comes from sweeping the net. One Twitter user suggests it was taken in India, where the snake swallowed a drunk man who fell asleep on the street, while another claims the reptile swallowed a woman in Durban, South Africa, in June 2013, and the the image was taken by Linda Laina Nyatoro, a reporter. Some sites, however, including Hoax Slayer, and news.com.au claim the photo is a big fat fake. It reports the Linda Laina Nyatoro did post the picture on her Facebook page, but did not claim to be a witness to the supposed incident. She claims that one of her colleagues was there when a woman's body was removed from the snake. But this has not been confirmed. The site also says the p...

 Josephine Myrtle Corbin was born on 12th of May 1868 in Lincoln County, Tennessee, United States. She was the daughter of William H. Corbin and Nancy Corbin. She was born with two different pelvises beside each other from the waist down. According to Myrtle's doctor, the extra legs was supposed to be her separate twin. Her case was seen as a rare form of conjoined twinning called "Dipygus". Each of her smaller inner legs were paired with one of the outer legs. Although the inner legs with three toes each were too fragile for walking but she was able to them. Technically, she struggled to walk because she had only one usable good leg as the inner ones were paired with the other. Josephine Myrtle Corbin was a natural beauty. Various doctors that carried out several tests on her confirmed that she was very healthy and could operate like every other normal human being. She had four other siblings that were born normal. Josephine Myrtle's birth took the world by surprise ...

 In a small village in Peru, 1939, a five-year-old girl named Lina Medina became the youngest confirmed mother in history. Her story isn't just a medical record – it's a devastating reminder of how "traditions" can be used to mask unthinkable crimes against children. The truth behind this tragedy? So-called "religious festivals" that normalized abuse. These weren't celebrations – they were crimes hiding behind the shield of "tradition." Here's what makes this even more heartbreaking: -Her baby boy grew up thinking she was his sister -She was so young, she couldn't understand what happened to her -The perpetrator was never caught because it was considered a "tradition" Today, at 91, Lina still lives in Peru. But similar stories are still happening around the world, hidden behind different names, different customs, different excuses. Nightfam, it's time we say it loud and clear: No tradition that harms children deserves to s...

 Pop singer Britney Spears’ quest to end the conservatorship that handed control over her finances and health care to her father demonstrates the double-edged sword of putting people under the legal care and control of another person. A judge may at times deem it necessary to appoint a guardian or conservator to protect a vulnerable person from abuse and trickery by others, or to protect them from poor decision-making regarding their own health and safety. But when put into the hands of self-serving or otherwise unscrupulous conservators, however, it can lead to exploitation and abuse. Celebrities like Spears may be particularly susceptible to exploitation due to their capacity for generating wealth, but they are far from the only people at risk. As a lawyer with decades of experience representing poor and marginalized people and a scholar of tribal and federal Indian law, I can attest to the way systemic inequalities within local legal practices may exacerbate these potentially ex...

 Images of what the Allies found when they liberated the Nazi death camps towards the end of World War II brought the horror of the Holocaust to global attention. Many of the ghastly pictures were at first held back from the broader public, partly out of concern for those with missing relatives. The concentration and extermination camps were liberated one by one as the Allied armies closed in on Berlin in the final days of the 1939-1945 war. The first was the Majdanek camp near Lublin in eastern Poland, whose surviving prisoners were freed by the Soviet Red Army on July 24, 1944. The last camps to be liberated were Theresienstadt, near Prague, just after Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945, and Stutthof near Gdansk in northern Poland. In June 1944, SS leader Heinrich Himmler ordered some camps to be evacuated before they were reached by Allied troops, with prisoners to be transferred to other camps. SS officers were ordered to cover up all traces of crimes before fleeing. The sprawl...
