A Dutch woman accused of having a  romantic relationship with a German have her head shaved

soldier is held by members of the Dutch Resistance and is punished by having her head shaved following the liberation of the province of Overijssel. April, 1945. 

She sleeps with a German soldier to avoid starvation.

Probably countless examples. In Norway (not very harshly occupied, but still), about 10 000 "war children" were born as a result of relationships between German soldiers and Norwegian women. It is estimated that

10% of Norwegian women between the ages of 18 and 35 were engaged in these relationships. Several

thousand women married Germans and were forcibly deported as a result.

In danish historiography, it is absurdly put to 50.000 women being "tysker piger" or "german girls." (Anette Warring) While this might not sound as a high number it would mean that 1 out of 7,5 of women between 16-29 would fall in this category - in a country that was occupied by a few German divisions during most of the war and around 200.000 in the very end.

These are members of the Resistance. According to my mother who witnessed similar scene's after

the Canadians liberated her hometown in 1944 most of the people who were the first to point fingers and raise scissors were the people who were servile to the Germans.

That was two different things. The Lebensborn-program was 

an. SS-program meant both to bread and bring-up people of the Aryan race. The Lebensborn-program existed in many occupied countries and consisted of out-of-marriage pregnancies of aryan females with the off-spring given to aryan families.

The cutting of the girls' hair and such was done post-war, as some of the horrible things we (the norwegian people) did to "Tyskertøsene" (lit.

Jerry-skanks). This nickname was also given to female offspring of such relations, and both male and female

children of such offpring were seen as mentally retarted, lesser children. Many were raped, beaten by

teachers and fellow children, urinated on, left behind by their family, suggested sterilized,...). At one point, it was even suggested to send the kids off to Australia.

Some kids were sent to Germany and ended up being adopted in Sweden as children of unknown descent.

Some left the country, seeking a better life, many left for Sweden, including Anni-Frid Lyngstad of ABBA.

One link between the two programns is that a child or mother in the Lebensborn-program would end up as an T undesirable under the later system, and in Norway the houses used by the Lebensborn-program was reused to house undesirables.

They shaved women who went with Germans in Norway.after WWIl as well. What is it about shaving the head?

What was the origin of it? Why didn't they simply brand them with the word "whore" on their foreheads or something?

Disgrace’: Woman Fined For Being Too Brutal On Her Attacker

The world, or more specifically the democratic world, occasionally lacks coherence. Instead, it makes very little sense. Such was the case when a woman was fined for being too brutal on her attacker.

Twenty-four-year-old Milica Zivkovic was walking home with a friend after a night out in the town of Kolašin, in northern Montenegro, when she found herself in a distressing situation. Milica noticed that a strange man was trailing them. While following closely behind the pair, he attempted to engage them in conversation, but the friends ignored his advances and tried to brush him off, responding with laughter.

Unfortunately, the man — only identified by initials and as a Turkish citizen — didn’t take the hint, and instead, things took a turn for the worse. Resembling the dreaded scenario that many women hope to avoid, the Montenegrin woman quickly found herself in the strange man’s clutches.

“He grabbed my chin… and then he grabbed me by my intimate part (bottom area),” Milica recalled. “Defending myself, I hit him with a closed and then open fist, which I learnt while training kickboxing for four years.”

Using all her effort and strength to fight back, Milica surprised herself by knocking her attacker unconscious. However, she would shockingly find herself in court, defending those actions, which her country found a bit too effective, even though they were against a man who had sexually assaulted her.

“In such moments you can only think of the worst. But I fought as hard as I could, and of course I knocked him out,” Milica admitted.

During court proceedings in Montenegro, one of Europe’s youngest, independent countries, according to Bored Panda, Milica was fined for her act of self-defense against the person who sexually assaulted her. Of course, this decision baffled the country’s citizens as well as social media users from around the world.

The penalties imposed rightfully left Milica, her fellow citizens, and internet users around the globe feeling uneasy. Although she’s not someone who “sheds a tear” easily, Milica said she cried after her treatment by the judge, according to RFERL.

“I don’t know which was harder on me, the thug attack or the judge’s verdict,” Milica said of the ruling. “I left as a victim, innocent, and there I was slapped with the reality that I was guilty because I defended myself.”

She wasn’t the only one upset. In fact, thousands of people, mostly women, marched through the major cities across the Balkan nation in protest, denouncing sexual abuse and showing solidarity with Milica. Many had immense empathy for the Montenegro woman, including the country’s prime minister.

“I regret that such examples confirm how necessary we need changes in the judiciary and prosecutor’s office,” Dritan Abazović, the prime minister of Montenegro, said in a statement. “Milica was not afraid, but bravely and calmly defended herself from the bully, who eventually got the upper hand and was beaten.”

The prime minister wasn’t alone. Many disagreed with the court’s verdict, sparking debate on the country’s laws. In addition to protests, hundreds of individuals also came forward following the court’s verdict to offer to pay Milica’s fine. However, she quickly filed an appeal against the judgment — not because of the monetary aspect but in hopes of upholding justice.

The online community also voiced its concerns, showering Milica with support and calling the ruling “nonsense,” a “disgrace,” and “disgusting.” While the judge was mercilessly shamed over imposing the fine, Milica was showered with support and applauded for fighting back, and rightfully so.

One comment in particular seemed to sum up everyone’s thoughts. “What was she supposed to do?” social media user Vicky Bluff asked. “Give up and let it happen? The world’s gone mad.” According to the judge, she should have immediately called the police rather than use physical force against him to defend herself. However, those of us who live in reality know that when seconds count, the police are minutes away, and self-defense should be a basic human right.

JAPANESE FORCES BEGAN AN ASSAULT ON THE UNITED STATES AND FILIPINO TROOPS.

 JAPANESE FORCES BEGAN AN ASSAULT ON THE UNITED STATES AND FILIPINO TROOPS.

 This date, April 3, in 1942, Japanese forces began an assault on the United States and Filipino troops on the Bataan Peninsula.

And, same date, in 1946, Japanese Lt. General Masaharu Homma was executed in the Philippines for leading the Bataan Death March.

[Photo: A burial detail of Filipino and prisoners of war uses improvised litters to carry fallen comrades at Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, 1942, following the Bataan Death March.]

The Bataan Death March was the forcible transfer by the Imperial Japanese Army of 60,000–80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war from Saisaih Point, Bagac, Bataan and Mariveles to Camp O'Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, via San Fernando, Pampanga, where the prisoners were loaded onto trains. The transfer began on April 9, 1942, after the three-month Battle of Bataan in the Philippines during World War II. 

The total distance marched from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station to Camp O'Donnell is variously reported by differing sources as between 60 and 70 miles. 

Differing sources also report widely differing prisoner of war casualties prior to reaching Camp O'Donnell: from 5,000 to 18,000 Filipino deaths and 500 to 650 American deaths during the march. The march was characterized by severe physical abuse and wanton killings, and was later judged by an Allied military commission to be a Japanese war crime.

Masaharu Homma (November 27, 1887 – April 3, 1946) was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Homma commanded the Japanese 14th Army which invaded the Philippines and perpetrated the Bataan Death March. After the war, Homma was convicted of war crimes relating to the actions of troops under his direct command and executed by firing squad on April 3, 1946.

Homma was born on Sado Island, in the Sea of Japan off Niigata Prefecture. He graduated in the 14th class of the Imperial Japanese Army Academy in 1907, and in the 27th class of the Army Staff College in 1915. In 1917 he was attached to the East Lancashire Regiment, and in 1918 served with the British Expeditionary Force in France, being awarded the Military Cross.

From 1930 to 1932, Homma was again sent as a military attaché to the United Kingdom, where his proficiency in the English language was useful. He was also assigned to be part of the Japanese delegation to the Geneva Disarmament Conference in 1932 and served with the Press Section of the Army Ministry from 1932 to 1933.

In 1937, Homma was appointed aide-de-camp to Prince Chichibu, a brother of Emperor Shōwa. With him, he made a diplomatic tour in Europe which ended in Germany. There he attended the Nuremberg rally and met Adolf Hitler, with whom the prince tried to boost relations.

With the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Homma was appointed commander of the IJA 27th Division in China from 1938 to 1940 and directed the blockade of the foreign concessions in Tientsin, where he led the negotiations with the British. After the fall of Nanking, he declared publicly that "unless peace is achieved immediately it will be disastrous." He was promoted to lieutenant general in July 1938.

With the start of the Pacific War, Homma was named commander of the 43,110-man IJA 14th Army and tasked with the invasion of the Philippines. He ordered his troops to treat the Filipinos not as enemies but as friends, and respect their customs and religion.

 In one instance, on his approach to Manila, Homma stopped his columns and ordered the men to clean up and tighten formations, knowing that unkempt soldiers are more likely to loot and rape.

His approach towards Filipino civilians earned him the enmity of his superior, General Count Hisaichi Terauchi, commander of the Southern Army, who sent adverse reports about Homma to Tokyo from his headquarters in Saigon. 

There was also a growing subversion within Homma's command by a small group of insubordinates, under the influence of Colonel Tsuji Masanobu. In Homma's name, they sent out secret orders against his policies, including ordering the execution of Filipino Chief Justice José Abad Santos and attempted execution of former Speaker of the House of Representatives Manuel Roxas, which Homma found out about in time to stop.

Worried about the stalled offensive in Luzon, Hirohito pressed Army Chief of Staff Hajime Sugiyama twice in January 1942 to increase troop strength and launch a quick knockout on Bataan. Following these orders, Sugiyama put pressure on Homma to renew his attacks. The resulting Battle of Bataan commencing in January 1942, was one of the most intense in the campaign. 

The prisoners and refugees had to be moved north to get them out of the way of Homma’s final assault on Corregidor, but there was simply not enough mechanized transport to move the masses of wounded, sick, and weakened remainder of troops.

The deteriorating relationship between Homma and Sugiyama led to the removal of Homma from command shortly after the fall of Corregidor, and he was thereafter commander of the 14th Army in name only. 

The first atrocity, attributed to Colonel Masanobu Tsuji, occurred when approximately 350 to 400 Filipino officers and NCOs under his supervision were summarily executed near the Pantingan river after they had surrendered. 

Colonel Tsuji, acting against General Homma's wishes that the prisoners be transferred peacefully, had issued clandestine orders to Japanese officers to summarily execute all American “captives.”

During the march, prisoners received little food or water, and many died. Prisoners were subjected to severe physical abuse, including being beaten and tortured. On the march, the “sun treatment” was a common form of torture. Prisoners were forced to sit in sweltering direct sunlight, without helmets or other head covering. 

Anyone who asked for water was shot dead. Some men were told to strip naked or sit within sight of fresh, cool water. Trucks drove over some of those who fell or succumbed to fatigue, and "cleanup crews" put to death those too weak to continue. Some marchers were randomly stabbed by bayonets.

The Imperial General Headquarters regarded Homma as not aggressive enough in war, and too lenient with the Filipino people in peace, and he was subsequently forced into retirement in August 1943. Homma retired from the military and lived in semi-seclusion in Japan until the end of the war.

After the surrender of Japan in September 1945, the American occupation authorities arrested Homma and extradited him to the Philippines where he was tried by an American tribunal on 48 counts of violating international rules of war relating to the atrocities committed by troops under his command during the Bataan Death March.

It is not clear whether Homma ordered the atrocities that occurred during the march, but it is clear that his lack of administrative expertise and his inability to adequately delegate authority and control his men helped to enable the atrocities. After American-Filipino forces surrendered the Bataan Peninsula, Homma turned the logistics of handling the estimated 25,000 prisoners to Major-General Yoshitake Kawane.

 Homma publicly stated that the POWs would be treated fairly. A plan was formulated, approved by Homma, to transport and march the prisoners to Camp O'Donnell. However, the plan was severely flawed, as the American and Filipino POWs were starving, were weak with malaria, and numbered not 25,000 but 76,000 men, far more than any Japanese plan had anticipated.

At his trial, Homma also claimed that he was so preoccupied with the plans for the Corregidor assault that he had forgotten about the prisoners’ treatment, believing that his officers were properly handling the matter. He claimed that he did not learn of the atrocity until after the war, even though his headquarters were only 500 feet from the route of the march.

On February 11, 1946, Homma was convicted of all counts and sentenced, “...to be shot to death with musketry." Homma was executed by firing squad by American forces on April 3, 1946, outside Manila.

General Douglas MacArthur in his review of the case wrote, "If this defendant does not deserve his judicial fate, none in jurisdictional history ever did. There can be no greater, more heinous or more dangerous crime than the mass destruction, under guise of military authority or military necessity, of helpless men incapable of further contribution to war effort. A failure of law process to punish such acts of criminal enormity would threaten the very fabric of world society."

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF EINSATZ EXECUTIONS, " THE EVIL THAT TOO PLACE DURING THE WORLD WAR TWO ACT..

 EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF EINSATZ EXECUTIONS, " THE EVIL THAT TOO PLACE DURING THE WORLD WAR TWO ACT..

Eyewitness Account of Einsatz Executions.

On October 5, 1942, by accident, Hermann Friedrich Graebe

a German engineer and manager of a German construction firm in the Ukraine, and his foreman, came upon an Einsatz execution squad killing Jews from the small town of Dubno in the Ukraine. 

He gave the following eyewitness account:

“My foreman and I went directly to the pits. Nobody bothered us. Now I heard rifle shots in quick succession from behind one of the earth mounds. 

The people who had got off the trucks – men, women and children of all ages – had to undress upon the order of an SS man who carried a riding or dog whip. They had to put down their clothes in fixed places, sorted according to shoes, top clothing and undergarments. I saw heaps of shoes of about 800 to 1000 pairs, great piles of under-linen and clothing. 

Without screaming or weeping these people undressed, stood around in family groups, kissed each other,

said farewells, and waited for a sign from another SS man, who stood near the pit, also with a whip in his hand. During the fifteen minutes I stood near, I heard no complaint or plea for mercy.

 I watched a family of about eight persons, a man and a woman both of about fifty, with their children of about twenty to twenty-four, and two grown-up daughters about twenty-eight or twenty-nine. An old woman with snow white hair was holding a one-year-old child in her arms and singing to it and tickling it. The child was cooing with delight.

 The parents were looking on with tears in their eyes. The father was holding the hand of a boy about ten years old and speaking to him softly; the boy was fighting his tears. The father

pointed to the sky, stroked his head and seemed to explain something to him. At that moment the SS man at the pit started shouting something to his comrade. The latter counted off about twenty persons and instructed them to go behind the earth mound. Among them was the family I have just mentioned.

 I well remember a girl, slim with black hair, who, as she passed me, pointed to herself and said, “twenty-three years old.” I walked around the mound and found myself confronted by a tremendous grave. People were closely wedged together and lying on top of each other so that only their heads were visible.

 Nearly all had blood running over their shoulders from their heads. Some were lifting their arms and turning their heads to show that they were still alive. The pit was nearly two-thirds full. I estimated that it already contained about a thousand people. I looked for the man who did the shooting. He was an SS man, who sat at the edge of the narrow end of the pit, his feet dangling into the pit. 

He had a tommy-gun on his knees and was smoking a cigarette. The people, completely naked, went down some steps which were cut in the clay wall of the pit and clambered over the heads of the people lying there to the place to which the SS man directed them. They lay down in front of the dead or wounded people; some caressed those who were still alive and spoke to them in a low voice.

 Then I heard a series of shots. I looked into the pit and saw that the bodies were twitching or the heads lying already motionless on top of the bodies that lay beneath them. Blood was running from their necks. The next batch was approaching already. They went down into the pit, lined themselves up against the previous victims and were shot.”

He later provided vital testimony in the Einsatzgruppen Trial, one of the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials, invoking bitter persecution from many of his countrymen. 

To escape the hostility, Graebe moved his family to San Francisco in 1948, where he lived until his death on 17-04-1986, age 85. Hermann Graebe was honoured as a ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ by Yad

Vashem. Another witness of the mass executions of October 1942 in Dubno was the German officer Axel von dem Bussche.

who, traumatised by what he had seen, in 1943 joined the German resistance around Oberst Claus von Stauffenberg 

and unsuccessfully tried to kill Adolf Hitler in a suicide attack in November 1943. Axel von dem Bussche survived the war and died 26 January 1993 (aged 73) in Bonn, Germany

AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN SOLDIERS ON TOILET BREAK BEHIND THE FRONTLINES IN GALICIA, CA. 1914.

 AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN SOLDIERS ON TOILET BREAK BEHIND THE FRONTLINES IN GALICIA, CA. 1914.

Today 109 years ago, on December 1, 1914, the Battle of Limanowa-Łapanów began.

On November 20, 1914, the Russians attacked the Austro-Hungarians in front of Kraków, with the aim of capturing the city. The Austrians were forced to withdraw, and by November 29 the Russians were just 20 km from Kraków. The Austro-Hungarians ordered a counter-attack.

On December 1, 1914, some 190,000 Austro-Hungarian soldiers supported by 12,000 German troops went on the offensive against 225,000 Russians along a 30 km wide front.

In the south, the attack caught the Russians by surprise, who were pushed east to Limanowa. Fierce fighting took place in deep snow on mountainous terrain here, leading to an Austro-German advance.

Russian reinforcements were sent in, offering fierce resistance, but in the north, the town of Łapanów was taken by the Austro-Germans on December 6. The Russians counter-attacked at Limanowa, leading to further heavy fighting, though with much difficulty, the Austro-Hungarians repulsed the attack.

On December 7, the Austro-Hungarians ordered an attack through the Carpathian Mountains, with the aim of relieving the Przemyśl Fortress, where some 127,000 Austro-Hungarian troops were trapped. This attack marked the beginning of the bloody Carpathian Winter Battles.

The Austro-Hungarian progress through the Carpathians was slow, and a powerful Russian  counter-attack on December 10 forced them to halt, almost leading to the collapse of the Austrian lines.

Though the next day the Austro-Hungarians went on the attack again, and finally broke through for good. The Russians withdrew to Tarnów and Jaslo, and by December 14, the battle was over.

In the Battle of Limanowa-Łapanów, the Austro-Germans had suffered some 12,000 casualties and the Russians 30,000 casualties. The battle had ended in an Austro-German victory, as the Russian threat to Kraków was eliminated. However, the Austro-Hungarians failed to relieve the Przemyśl fortress.

Today, the torture museums of Europe display infamously gruesome instruments like the iron maiden, the rack, and the Spanish donkey.

 However, a lesser-known device that initially resembles a simple wooden stool may have been the most brutal of them all.

 Known as the Judas Cradle, this ghastly tool was reportedly used during the Spanish Inquisition to inflict maximum pain by suspending heretics above its razor-sharp "seat" with their orifices exposed and then slowly lowering them down onto it.

 What's more, the cradle's tip would never be cleaned, meaning that even if the torture wasn't meant to be lethal, the victim would most likely die of infection anyway. 

Learn more about the horrifying story of the Judas Cradle

The Judas Cradle, also known as the Judas Chair or the Guided Cradle, was a torture device that was most commonly used during the Medieval period. 

It took advantage of the forces of gravity to torture its victims in the most delicate of places and was an effective and popular method for acquiring confessions and other information. 

The device got its name by providing the kind of punishment that would suit only the world’s most famous traitor – Judas. 

It was used during the Spanish Inquisition to extract information or punish those who were perceived as guilty of heresy or blasphemy. 

The Spanish Inquisition was a tribunal established in 1478 by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II.

 The purpose of the Inquisition was to identify and punish individuals who were suspected of being heretics or apostates – those who had abandoned their faith or beliefs. 

The Inquisition initially targeted those who were Jewish or Muslim but later expanded to include other groups, such as Protestants.

The Inquisition was notorious for its use of torture and other brutal methods to extract confessions from suspects.

 Those who were found guilty were often subjected to imprisonment, fines, or even execution.

The Judas Cradle was not only used during the Spanish Inquisition but was also used in other parts of Europe during the Middle Ages.

 It was even used in some parts of Asia, where it was known as the “Chinese Boot.”

 The device was also used in some prisons during the 19th century, although it was banned in most countries by the end of the century.

Despite its gruesome nature, the Judas Cradle was not always lethal. 

However, victims often suffered from infections, which could lead to death. 

In some cases, the weight of the victim’s body could cause the device to puncture vital organs, leading to death.

Woman was raped, whipped and decapitated in front of a cheering crowd before rebels drank her blood because she served fighters 'forbidden' fish

 Woman was raped, whipped and decapitated in front of a cheering crowd before rebels drank her blood because she served fighters 'forbidden' fish

A woman in the Democratic Republic of Congo was publicly r£ped, whipped and decapitated in front of a cheering crowd after serving 'forbidden fish' to a group of anti-government rebels, who later drank her blood.

Video footage of the execution in Luebo, in the province of Kasaï-Occidental, shows the naked woman being shamed in the town's main square by a group claiming allegiance to the Kamuina Nsapu rebel movement.

While the video was filmed on April 8, 2017, the footage recently emerged after circulating on Whatsapp... read and watch the video 

The woman being punished was accused of serving forbidden fish to rebels who visited her restaurant.

'They said she gave them beans that contained pieces of a small, local fish,' a Luebo resident told France 24.

The resident added: 'Convinced that she had broken their protection charms, the council of rebels led by a man named Kabata sentenced both the woman and the son of her husband's second wife [the young man was also working there that day] to commit incest in public.'

The Kamuina Nsapu refrain from having sex, washing themselves and eating meat, fish and other items while fighting, according to Congolese researcher and consultant Anaclet Tshimbalanga.

In video of the woman's execution, the leader of the rebel group, Kalamba Kambangoma, is seen grabbing the woman by the hair before she is taken to the stage to be publicly raped.

Rebel leaders force the woman to have sex with the son of her husband's second wife, and another woman is seen whipping the pair with branches.

Following the public rape, rebels executed the woman and the young man, believed to be in his 20s, by beheading them with machetes.

Several rebels drank their blood after the execution, and some even posed with the young man's severed head, witnesses told France 24.

Onlookers can be heard applauding and screaming throughout the video. Luebo residents stayed far from the stage, witnesses said.

The bodies remained on display for two days before they were moved to a local cemetery.

Tshimbalanga, a specialist in Congolese customs, said the woman's death 'goes completely contrary to local customs, which forbid both the death sentence and incest'.

She told France 24: 'These cases of extreme violence are a result of drugs or, sometimes, of people getting caught up in the frenzy and excitement of bloodshed and war.'

The group of Kamuina Nsapu rebels seized Luebo, a town of 40,000, on March 31 and held it for 20 days until being ousted by the Congolese army on April 19.

During their reign, they killed about ten people, including two police officers and the wife of Luebo's administrator.

They also burned buildings, took over the local church and banned people from working and going to school.

The rebel movement emerged after the death of local tribal chief Kamuina Nsapu was killed by the Congolese army in August 2016.

Nsapu had rebelled against the authority of President Joseph Kabila's regime in Kinshasa and its local representatives.

The killing sparked violence that has escalated, including gross alleged violations such as rapes, torture and the use of child soldiers. 

Groups bearing Nsapu's name have attacked government organizations, police and soldiers following his death. 

Refugees have given harrowing accounts of the violence in the central region, which the UN warned had taken on 'an increasing and disturbing ethnic dimension'. 

Victims recounted mutilations, including of a seven-year-old boy whose fingers were cut off, and an attack on a hospital in the village of Cinq where 90 people were killed, some because they were too injured to escape a raging fire. 

Aside from government troops, the UN has blamed a reportedly state-backed militia called the Bana Mura as well as the anti-government Kamuina Nsapu militia for a range of atrocities. 

In less than a year, the violence has claimed more than 3,300 lives, according to a tally by the influential Roman Catholic Church, and displaced 1.4 million people.

Around 80 mass graves have been uncovered in the region.

The president's mandate expired last December but under a transition deal, he was allowed to remain in office until elections that are supposed to be held in late 2017.

Kabila has so far failed to set a date for the polls, heightening tensions across the country.

The Kamuina Nsapu, which has been fighting Congo's government for a year, and has summarily executed dozens of people.

Typically its members would execute a government official and decapitate them, removing the head to put it in 'sacred fire'.

Refugees were convinced that the Kamuina Nsapu had magical powers, and militia members believed their magic - including young girls drinking the blood of decapitated victims - would make them invincible, the report said.

General Lee was lynched on January 13, 1904, near Reevesville, Dorchester County, South Carolina

General Lee was lynched on January 13, 1904, near Reevesville, Dorchester County, South Carolina

In 1904, a man named General Lee was accused of knocking on a white woman's door in Reevesville, South Carolina. He was lynched by a white mob

General Lee was lynched on January 13, 1904, near Reevesville, Dorchester County, South Carolina. He was an African American man, approximately thirty years old, with a wife named Henrietta and six children named Willie, Curtis, Bertha, Timothy, Nellie, and Lila. At the time of his death his estate did not exceed $50.

He reportedly had a bad reputation among the other African American people in his neighborhood, with The Manning Times reporting that members of his community expressed surprise that he had not been lynched earlier due to his behavior. He was accused of the attempted burglary and rape of Miss A.P. Wimberly, a white widow, in her home.

He had allegedly been stalking her at the store she owned before attempting to burglarize her home and rape her. Wimberly claimed that she frightened him away by her cries for help. Several pieces of evidence that indicated he was the assailant, including footprints that matched his shoes and step, were reported. Brass knuckles were found outside Wimberly’s door.

He was arrested and kidnapped from custody on the way to jail. A mob of about 50 unknown men hanged and shot him. Governor Heyward, moved by Lee’s lynching, delivered an anti-lynching message to the General Assembly on January 20, 1904. He recommended that the state pass special legislation that would give power back to law enforcement officials and provide more effective measures to apprehend lynchers who take the law into their own hands.

Heyward knew that he, as governor, did not have the power to create such legislation, so he also asked that the governor be given a fund for “suppressing lynching, accomplished by offering rewards for obtaining evidence against lynchers.

The Lykovs were a family cut off from all human contact for 40 years in the Siberian wilderness.

The Lykovs were a family cut off from all human contact for 40 years in the Siberian wilderness. They were completely unaware that World War 2 had occurred.

The Lykov family’s life in the Siberian wilderness was marked by extreme hardship and survival tactics. The family’s diet was primarily vegetarian, as they subsisted on potato patties mixed with ground rye and hemp seeds. They also had a spinning wheel but no loom, so they made their clothes from hemp fiber. The clothes were rough and sack-like, and the Lykovs usually wore them until they fell apart.

In the harsh Siberian winters, the family would stay in the cabin for months, not venturing out until spring. They kept the cabin warm by burning a fire, but they did not have a chimney and so the smoke filled the cabin and slowly seeped out through a small hole in the roof. This made the living conditions in the cabin quite harsh and smoky.

The Lykovs were discovered by a group of geologists in 1978. However, they chose to remain in the wilderness even after their discovery. The family had a deep distrust of the modern world and believed that they were living a purer and more righteous life in the wilderness. 

The last surviving member of the family, Agafia Lykova, still lives in the wilderness today.

NEARLY 4,000 AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE LYNCHED IN ONE 73-YEAR PERIOD.

 NEARLY 4,000 AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE LYNCHED IN ONE 73-YEAR PERIOD.

 

between 1877 and 1950, 3,959 African Americans were lynched — 700 more incidents than had ever been calculated before,

black lynchings in the South occurred when unsubstantiated suspicions arose about black involvement in white society, and when African Americans actively resisted racial subordination.

In 1904, a man named General Lee was accused of knocking on a white woman's door in Reevesville, South Carolina. He was lynched by a white mob.

When World War I veteran William Little refused to remove his army uniform in front of a group of white men in Blakely, Georgia, in 1919, he was also attacked and lynched by a mob.

When World War I veteran William Little refused to remove his army uniform in front of a group of white men in Blakely, Georgia, in 1919, he was also attacked and lynched by a mob.

Many of the lynchings were justified by suspicions and lacked hard evidence. Being found guilty of lynching was such a rarity that many of them were carried out in broad daylight, sometimes on the steps of courthouses

In 1919, Berry Noyse was accused of killing a sheriff in Lexington, Tennessee. According to the EJI report, "an angry mob lynched him in the courthouse square, dragged his body through the town, shot it dozens of times, and burned the body in the middle of the street below hung banners that read, 'This is the way we do our bit.'"

Lynchings were so widely accepted that they became cultural events for white spectators. In one 1904 case in Doddsville, Mississippi, Luther Holbert was suspected of killing a white man. Holbert and the woman assumed to be his wife were captured by a mob and tied to a tree, where white civilians were invited to cut their fingers and ears off.

As the victims were beaten and burned to death, onlookers are said to have been "enjoying deviled eggs, lemonade, and whiskey in a picnic-like atmosphere."

 ON JAN. 17, 1961, PATRICE LUMUMBA, A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTER WAS EXECUTED WITH THE ASSISTANCE IN CONGO.

 In his 1960 Independence Day speech Lumumba said, We are going to show the world what the Black man [and woman] can do when he works in freedom.

On Jan. 17, 1961,‬, democratically elected prime minister of the Republic of the Congo, Patrice Lumumba, was executed with the assistance of the governments of Belgium and the United States.

In his 1960 Independence Day speech Lumumba said,

We are going to show the world what the Black man [and woman] can do when he works in freedom, and we are going to make of the Congo the center of the sun’s radiance for all of Africa. 

We are going to keep watch over the lands of our country so that they truly profit her children."

Just six months later he was imprisoned and executed by firing squad.

Patrice Lumumba

I was the first elected prime minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I was a postal clerk and traveling salesman. 

In 1958, I helped found the Mouvement National Congolais, a political party that demanded independence from Belgium. 

In October 1959, I was arrested and imprisoned for inciting anti-colonial riots. I won the country’s first parliamentary election in June 1960.

On June 30, 1960, King Baudouin of Belgium came to grant us our independence. How arrogant. His speech was even worse.

 He told us that we should be thankful the Belgians brought us civilization. 

In my speech, I reminded him of all the crimes they committed against us. As you can imagine, he thought I was ungrateful. 

White kings get upset when Black men talk back to them. Predictably, the United States and Great Britain were also angry. 

They accused me of being a communist because I believed that the wealth of Congo should remain in Congo to create a strong society.

The U.S. CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) and their counterparts in Britain and Belgium paid a group of Congolese military men (including Joseph Mobutu) to kill me.

 I was executed by a firing squad on January 17, 1961, after a long torture session. 

Before they killed me, they made me eat the paper on which my Independence Day speech was written.

After my assassination, people all over the world protested the destruction of our democracy.
