Decades later, the jars and test tubes found behind a glass cupboard in a locked room testified to history s horror.Raphael Toledano, a researcher from Strasbourg who has spent more than a decade delving into the eastern French city s Nazi past, stumbled upon the 1952 letter from Camille Simonin, the director of the adidas originals uomo forensic science school at the University of Strasbourg, detailing the storage of tissue samples taken from some of the 86 Jews gassed for the experiments of August Hirt, a notorious Nazi anatomy researcher. adidas originals samba Auschwitz survivor remembers the Holocaust 01:22 The autopsy samples were intended to be used to prosecute Hirt, who directed the construction of a gas chamber built specifically to provide victims for experiments carried out at the facility.

The United States no longer leads on international human rights issues and often sacrifices its concerns for political expediency, the U.S. branch of Amnesty International said Wednesday as it marked its 40th anniversary.

Instead, we have a U.S. government that has abdicated its duty to lead.

Incoming House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, enthusiastically supports continuing to aid Ukraine in its hard-fought war against Russia.

And that s what we ve done without one American soldier being attacked, kill asics sneaker ed or in country. To me, that s a pretty good investment. Asked if he would favor more heavily arming the Ukrainians to bring the war to a faster conclusion, McCaul responded, 100% because the longer you drag this out, the more bloodshed.

Israel s prime minister pushed back Saturday against calls fro adidas samba m Western allies to do more to protect Palestinian civilians, as troops encircled Gaza s largest hospital where doctors said five patients died mdash; including a premature baby mdash; after the last generator ran out of fuel.A cease-fire would be possible only if all 239 hostages held by militants in Gaza are released, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised address.The Israeli leader also insisted that after the war, now entering its sixth week, Gaza would be demilitarized an chanclas yeezy d Israel would retain security control there. Asked what he meant by security control, Netanyahu said Israeli forces must be able to enter Gaza freely to hunt down militants.He also rejected the idea that the Palestinian Authority, which currently administers autonomous areas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, would at some stage control Gaza. Both positions run counter to post-war scenarios floated by Israel s closest ally, the United States. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the U.S. opposes an Israeli reoccupation of Gaza and envisions a unified Palestinian government in both Gaza and the West Bank at some stage as a step toward Palestinian statehood.For now, Netanyahu said, the war against Hamas is advancing with full force, and it has one goal, to win.
