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 death pit

Image
The death pit A horrific photograph of an execution in eastern Europe during the second world war can be seen in Holocaust archives and museums around the world. But who are the killers, who are the victims, who took it - and why? Janina Struk felt compelled to investigate Two naked men stand on the edge of a pit, an older man several feet behind them, while a man and a boy, also naked, walk into the frame. Surrounding them are seven perpetrators, some armed, some in uniform, some not. A uniformed man on the far right-hand side of the picture is standing on a mound of earth, presumably dug from the pit, seemingly directing proceedings. The caption reads: "Sniatyn - tormenting Jews before their execution. 11.V.1943." I first saw a copy of this image as I was filing through photographs in the Polish Underground Movement (1939-1945) Study Trust in west London. At the time I did not understand what I was looking at. I had never encountered a scene quite like it before. The pit...

At the end of January 1944, the 5th WSS Panzer Division "Wiking" was encircled in the Cherkasy pocket along with five other German divisions.  The pocket was surrounded by 35 Soviet divisions and was compressed to 100 square kilometers. This time Hitler allowed the breakout attempt and the Div. "Wiking" as the only armored division in the pocket and also well equipped, led the strike to the south. After the element of surprise had passed, the Russians began a heavy counterattack with armored support.  However, the onset of a snowstorm gave the German troops excellent cover and eventually the broken formations reached the final barrier to rescue, the less than 2 meter deep river at Gniloj and Tikits.  Since there was no bridge or ford, the soldiers had to swim across the river, with a human chain helping non-swimmers to cross. Many were swept away by the icy waters, but most made it to safety.  Finally, thanks to the action of the Wiking Division and in particular th...

Illustration depicting the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, June 28, 1914. Today 109 years ago, on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo by Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip, leading directly to the outbreak of the First World War. In June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife decided on a visit to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, for the opening of a state museum and for the couple's 14th wedding anniversary. Bosnia-Herzegovina had been formally annexed into the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1908. The Bosnian revolutionary movement 'Young Bosnia' and the secret Serbian military organization the 'Black Hand' sought Bosnian independence in order to unify with Serbia in the formation of a Yugoslavia. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was in favour of a triple empire between Austria, Hungary and the Slavic nations. Feari...

Lion of Lucerne is a memorial in Lucerne, Switzerland designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and carved in 1820–21 by Lukas Ahorn.⁣ The monument commemorates the Swiss Guards who lost their lives in 1792 during the French Revolution, when revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace in Paris. The top inscription says Helvetiorum Fidei ac Virtuti which translates to "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss".⁣ The monument depicts a dying lion impaled by a spear, covering a shield bearing the fleur-de-lis of the French monarchy. Next to him is another shield bearing the coat of arms of Switzerland.  The inscription below show the names of the guards and provides the approximate numbers of soldiers who died (DCCLX = 760), and survived (CCCL = 350).⁣ Mark Twain praised the sculpture of a mortally-wounded lion as "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world."

Myth: Henry Wirz was the only person tried for war crimes in the Civil War

The execution of Champ Ferguson after his conviction by military tribunal for the murder of 53 Union prisoners of war.Harper's Weekly The execution of 38 Souix after conviction by a military tribunal - December 26, 1862 Library of Congress The execution of Henry Wirz - November 10, 1865 Library of Congress Myth: Henry Wirz was the only person tried for war crimes in the Civil War Because of the massive newspaper coverage of the Wirz Tribunal, and the lack of trials against major Confederate leaders such as Robert E. Lee, it appeared to average Americans – both north and south – that Wirz was the only person tried, convicted, or executed after the war. This assumption as frequently been cited as "proof" that the government was out for vengeance against Wirz alone. While the trial of Henry Wirz was by far the most famous of the military tribunals at the end of the Civil War, it was not the only one. In fact, there were nearly 1,000 military tribunals in which Confederates...

LANGUAGE, UNIVERSAL

Image
LANGUAGE, UNIVERSAL The invention of a universal language, which men of all nations could understand and through which they could communicate their thoughts, has always been one of the dreams of certain philologists.  In the seventeenth century, Dalgarno had written his Ars Signorum to prove the possibility of a universal character and a philosophical language. About the same time Bishop Wilkins published his Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language; and even the mathematical Leibnitz entertained the project of a universal language for all the world.  It is not, therefore, surprising, that when the so-called Leland Manuscript stated that the Freemasons concealed a "Universal Language," John Locke, or whoever was the commentator on that document, should have been attracted by the statement. He says: A universal language has been much desired by the learned of many ages. It is a thing rather to be wished than hoped for. But it seems the Masons pretend to have...

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...
