THE WORST AND HORRIBLE MURDER OF NAOMI PLATTER IN GAS CHAMBER DURING WWII.

 The Hindenburg was a passenger ship traveling to Frankfurt Germany. It tried to dock in New Jersey, one of the stops, and something went wrong - it blew up.


Thirty-six people were killed out of the 97 on board - 13 passengers, 22 crewmen, and one ground worker. The reasons for the explosion are still disputed.

In 1940, when she was just 3 years old, in July, Billboard published its first Music Popularity Chart. Top recordings of the year were Tommy Dorsey's "I'll Never Smile Again" (vocal Frank Sinatra) - 12 weeks at the top, Bing Crosby's "Only Forever" - 9 weeks at the top, and Artie Shaw's "Frenesi" - 12 weeks at the top.

In 1941, at the age of merely 4 years old, Naomi was alive when in his State of the Union address on January 6th, President Roosevelt detailed the "four freedoms" that everyone in the world should have: Freedom of speech, Freedom of worship, Freedom from want, and Freedom from fear. In the same speech, he outlined the benefits of democracy which he said were economic opportunity, employment, social security, and the promise of "adequate health care".

In 1943, at the age of just 6 years old, Naomi was alive when on June 20th through June 22nd, the Detroit Race Riot erupted at Belle Isle Park. The rioting spread throughout the city (made worse by false rumors of attacks on blacks and whites) and resulted in the deployment of 6,000 Federal troops.

 34 people were killed, (25 of them black) - mostly by white police or National Guardsmen, 433 were wounded (75 percent of them black) and an estimated $2 million of property was destroyed. The same summer, there were riots in Beaumont, Texas and Harlem, New York.

In 1944, in the year of Naomi Plattner's passing, on November 7th, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was reelected to a fourth term as President of the United States. Running against Thomas Dewey, Governor of New York, Roosevelt won 53.4 of the popular vote, Dewey got 45.9%.

She was 11 when the Nazis came to power, and like most German kids, she was enthralled with the youthful camaraderie they offered.


She joined the BDM, the League of German Girls, and steadily advanced in its ranks. Her older brother, Hans, however, and several of her siblings were members of the White Rose, a non-Nazi youth group.

 Although initially allowed, such alternative groups were eventually banned in 1936, and her siblings were arrested for continuing their activities. Their arrests awakened in Sophie a recognition of injustice that in time would transform her into an intrepid anti-Nazi resistance fighter. 

      By June of 1942, Germany was in its third year of war, and Sophie and Hans found themselves together at the University of Munich. Hans, a medical student, was already involved in the White Rose anti-Nazi movement, and as soon as Sophie discovered his secret, she insisted on joining him. Over the next 7 months they, and a handful of fellow students, would produce six widely distributed pamphlets of a heroic nature we can hardly imagine today…

“Our current ‘state’ is the dictatorship of evil…I ask you, if you know that, then why don’t you act?”

“The German name will remain forever tarnished unless finally the German youth stands up… Students! The German people look to us! The responsibility is ours…”

      Sophie, Hans, and Christoph Probst were caught distributing pamphlets and arrested on February 18, 1943. 

In the half-day trial that followed, Sophie made this statement. “I am, now as before, of the opinion that I did the best that I could do for my nation.” 

      Sophie and her co-defendants were found guilty and beheaded by guillotine four days later. Their three friends, Willi Graf, Alexander Schmorell, and Kurt Huber were arrested days later and put to death. 

      Sophie Scholl was 21 years old.

Today 105 years ago, on September 15, 1918, the Allies launched the Vardar Offensive on the Macedonian Front, leading to Bulgarian surrender and the liberation of Serbia. By September 1918, the Germans had withdrawn their forces from the Macedonian Front, leaving Bulgaria isolated against the combined forces of Serbia, France, Britain and Greece. The Allies planned for a final offensive to knock Bulgaria out of the war, or at least force them to new defensive lines. On the left flank, the French, Serbs and Greeks would attack the fortified Dobro Pole mountain, while on the right flank, British and Greek forces would attack at the Lake Doiran, and on their left the French would attack by the Vardar river. On September 15, 1918, following an artillery bombardment of 566 guns, Serbian, French and Greek forces launched the Vardar Offensive against the Bulgarian 1st Army in ...

THE TERRIBLE STORY OF THE WOMEN HANGED FOR 21.48G HEROINE " MALAYSIAN ROSHAMIMA ROSLAN

 Malaysian woman to hang for 21.48g heroin Malaysian Roshamima Roslan A Malaysian couple who were due to get married drove into Singapore two years ago with 21.48g of heroin bundles in their car. The pair were caught, charged and put on trial. On Friday, the High Court acquitted Mas Swan Adnan, 27, but sent his fiancee Roshamima Roslan, 24, to the gallows for trafficking in 15g or more of the drug. In his judgment yesterday, Justice Steven Chong said the prosecution had to prove that the two of them knew exactly what sort of drugs they were bringing into Singapore. Justice Chong said the evidence showed, however, that Mas Swan believed his girlfriend when she told him that the bundles contained Ecstasy pills. Roshamima's claim was not believable, the judge said, adding that the prosecution proved that she knew that illicit drugs were hidden in their car when they entered Singapore. When Roshamima was put on the stand, she failed to give testimony that she believed the bundles to co...
