strange history In medieval Europe lived a young girl named Eliza Day


strange history In medieval Europe lived a young girl named Eliza Day, whose beauty was like wild roses, growing by the river - blood and red. One day a young man came to the city, instantly fell in love with Eliza.

 They've met for three days. He came to her house the first day. On the second day he brought her one red rose and asked her to meet where wild roses grow. 

On the third day he took her to the river, where he killed her. A terrible man waited for her to turn away from him, then took the stone and, whispering "All beauty must die", killed her with one blow to the head. 

He put a rose in her teeth and pushed the body into the river. Some people claim to have seen her ghost wandering across the river, with one rose in his hand, and blood flows from her head.

The actual execution of Amon Goeth.

Image
This is the actual execution of Amon Goeth. He was famously depicted in the movie Schindler’s List, as firing on concentration camp prisoners with a sniper rifle from his balcony. Amon Leopold Göth  (German: [ˈɡøːt] (listen); alternative spelling  Goeth ; 11 December 1908 – 13 September 1946) was an Austrian SS functionary and war criminal. He served as the commandant of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów in German-occupied Poland for most of the camp's existence during World War II. Göth was tried after the war by the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland at Kraków and was found guilty of personally ordering the imprisonment, torture, and extermination of individuals and groups of people. He was also convicted of homicide, the first such conviction at a war crimes trial, for "personally killing, maiming and torturing a substantial, albeit unidentified number of people." Göth was...

Poland, Women naked, before their execution

Image
Among the millions of photographs that are related to Nazi death camps, only four depict the actual process of mass killing perpetrated at the gas chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau. They show a completely different perspective, which makes them unique when dealing with visual material of the Holocaust and the Holocaust as a topic itself. They were taken inside the epicenter of the horror, from which no other visual material exists. They were taken clandestinely at the height of the Final Solution in 1944 by one of the so-called  Sonderkommando  – Jewish prisoners forced to help carry out the atrocities by removing the Nazis' victims from the gas chambers and destroying the corpses through fire or mass burial. One of the photographs shows a group of naked women; the others show the cremation of corpses. Poland, Women naked, before their execution If we agree that photography not only reflects reality, but also interprets it, than we need to take a closer look at the photograp...

Frederick Foreman - Henry Pierrepoint’s last hanging.

Image
Frederick Foreman - Henry Pierrepoint’s last hanging. 45 year old Frederick Foreman had been living with his girlfriend, 43 year old Elizabeth Eley for some time in a disused railway carriage in a field at East Hall Farm at Church Lane, Wennington near Grays in Essex, the farm where they both worked. On Whit Monday, the 16th of May 1910, the two went out drinking at the Three Crowns pub in Rainham Ferry and were heard quarrelling.   It is thought that Foreman suspected Elizabeth of being unfaithful to him.  They got back to the field and here Foreman began to attack her.  He reported finding her body to the police the next morning.  The crime scene investigation revealed that the attack had been prolonged and had taken place in at least three locations with Elizabeth being dragged between them.   She had severe lacerations to her head, caused by being hit with a heavy stick.  She also had a broken leg and numerous bruises from being kicked.  An examina...

Anne Boleyn is Executed outside the Tower of London.

Image
Anne Boleyn is Executed outside the Tower of London. 487 years ago today, the 19th of May 1536, Anne Boleyn was beheaded by order of her husband, King Henry VIII. She had been found guilty of false charges in a show trial arranged by Henry’s “fixer”, Thomas Cromwell.  Henry had fallen in love with Anne’s lady-in-waiting, Jane Seymour, after Anne suffered a series of tragic miscarriages. Henry horrifically blamed Anne for them.  Anne had borne Henry one daughter, Elizabeth, but Henry wanted a son. And he was done trying to have that son with Anne. He had decided that Anne was too feisty and not submissive enough. Henry wanted a more quiet, traditional Queen who would quickly provide him with a male heir.  And so, on the morning of May 19, Anne made her way outside from her chambers in the Tower of London. A large crowd awaited her, some friends, some foes. All there to watch her die for a crime many suspected she didn’t commit. Even Anne’s long-standing rival, Imperial amb...

WWI Russian Expeditionary Force in France

Image
WWI Russian Expeditionary Force in France From Russia to the Western Front. The Russian Expeditionary Force was a World War I military force sent to France by the Russian Empire. In 1915 the French requested that Russian troops be sent to fight alongside their own army on the Western Front. Initially they asked for 300,000 men, an absurdly high figure, probably based on their assumptions about Russia's 'unlimited' reserves.  General Mikhail Alekseev, the Imperial Chief of Staff, was opposed to sending any, though Nicholas II finally agreed to send a unit of brigade strength. The First Russian Special Brigade finally landed at Marseille in April 1916. A Second Special Brigade was also sent to serve alongside other Allied formations on the Salonika Front in northern Greece. In France, the First Brigade served with distinction until the outbreak of the Russian Revolution of 1917.  With Brigade morale being sapped by political agitation, it was finally disbanded before the end ...

11-Year-Old Pregnant Florida Girl Forced To Marry Her Rapist

Image
11-Year-Old Pregnant Florida Girl Forced To Marry Her Rapist Sherry Johnson's family tried to protect the members of their church congregation that raped her by forcing her into marriage. At least one child under the age of 16 gets married in Florida every few days. That’s because what many would call underage marriage is still legal in every state in America — typically with the consent of parents or a judge. Twenty-seven states have no minimum age whatsoever. One woman, who was forced to marry her own rapist at the age of 11, is fighting to change that. Sherry Johnson became pregnant and gave birth when she was just ten years old — after both a minister and a 20-year-old member of her Florida church raped her. Her family — along with church leaders — decided that instead of pursuing criminal charges, it would be easier for the elementary school student to just get married. “My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like ...

The most incredible historical fact about King Edward VII

The most incredible historical fact about King Edward  VII King Edward VII, had a special chair made for digging in... When Edward VII was still a young prince devoid of any responsibility for the crown, he travelled far from the British capital in search of leisure and pleasure. On one of his visits to Paris, he approached Le Chabanais, one of the best-known brothels in Paris. It was located relatively close to the Louvre Museum. Edward VII was assigned his own room whenever he frequented the brothel. The prince's main problem was his overweight. To overcome the physical impediment, the cabinetmaker Louis Soubrier made what he called "the chair of love". The chair was made in such a way that the future king could act without getting too tired. Also, the shape of the chair suggests that it was made so that the man could lie with two women at once.

The California Bar and Italian boarding house in Bingham, Utah c. 1900

Image
The California Bar and Italian boarding house in Bingham, Utah c. 1900 Throughout the 1800s and well into the first half of the 1900s, boarding houses flourished in numerous American cities, adding a touch of charm and peculiarity to urban life.  These establishments varied greatly, ranging from grand, purpose-built edifices to the humble abodes of "genteel ladies" who sought to augment their income by renting a room or two. The eclectic mix of boarders was equally diverse, encompassing prosperous businessmen, destitute laborers, solitary individuals, and entire families. However, married women who chose to board with their families were often subjected to unfounded accusations of laziness. It was claimed they neglected their responsibilities, deeming the laborious tasks of housekeeping, cooking, and child-rearing too arduous to undertake diligently. Alas, prejudice found its way even into the walls of these communal dwellings. Primarily catering to men, boarding houses left ...
