- Concentration Camps -- World War Ii
In Russia the Bolsheviks established concentration camps for suspected counterrevolutionaries in 1918 after the Russian Revolution. During the 1920s, “class enemies” and criminals were confined in the Northern Special Purpose Camps on the Solovetskiye Islands in the White Sea and near Arkhangel’sk on the mainland. In the 1930s and 1940s, a system of corrective labor camps covered most of the Soviet Union and received millions of prisoners in successive waves of mass arrests: independent farmers (kulaks); victims of the great purges; populations deported from the Polish and Baltic territories annexed in 1939; groups such as the Volga Germans considered potentially disloyal during World War II; Axis prisoners of war; and Russians returning from German captivity. After the death of Joseph Stalin (1953), when many inmates received amnesty and were released, the camps continued on a smaller scale. - Russell Mulcahy -- Director Russell Mulcahy

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s during the phase-in period of Social Security, Congress was able to grant generous benefit increases because the system had perpetual short-run surpluses. Congressional amendments to Social Security took place in even numbered years (election years) because the bills were politically popular, but by the late 1970s, this era was over. For the next three decades, projections of Social Security's finances would show large, long run deficits, and in the early 1980s, the program flirted with immediate insolvency. From this point on, amendments to Social Security would take place in odd numbered years (not election years) because Social Security reform now meant tax increases and benefit cuts. Social Security became known as the "Third Rail of American Politics." Touching it meant political death. - Holocaust Films -- Annette Insdorf
In her evaluation of films that attempt to depict aspects of the Holocaust, Insdorf is generally hard on Hollywood, faulting it for everything from Holo-kitsch to excessive blood and gore to oversensitivity about gentile concerns. While it is amusing to learn that objections from the American Gas Association resulted in the deletion of the word "gas" from a televised version of Judgment at Nuremberg on Playhouse 90 in 1959 (p. 3), revisionist readers will be bemused to find out that it is the "Hollywood conventions of casting and scoring" that undermine the authenticity of The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) (p.7). Evidently the author is not troubled by the discrepancies between the various texts of the diary and its divergences from discernible reality unearthed by Robert Faurisson (condemned in the author’s 1983 introduction), or even by the re-jiggering, as remarked by author Ira Levin, of the diary’s content to cater to the concerns of gentile theater and filmgoers. - Adolf Eichmann

Cannibalism is increasing in North Korea following another poor harvest and a big cut in international food aid, according to refugees who have fled the stricken country. Aid agencies are alarmed by refugees' reports that children have been killed and corpses cut up by people desperate for food. Requests by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to be allowed access to "farmers' markets", where human meat is said to be traded, have been turned down by Pyongyang, citing "security reasons". By Mark Nicol (Filed: 08/06/2003)Telegraph News - Women in the Holocaust
After the spending some time in the camps, new perceptions came to define selections experiences for women. Preliminary medical examinations distinguished those women strong and healthy enough for slave labor from those too weak or ill to be of any real use. Any woman found in unsatisfactory health according to SS standards would be sentenced to death immediately. As a result of the widespread epidemics in their living quarters, a large majority of infected women had much to fear in medical inspections. Vago retells an incident that occurred just before transfer to a new camp, in which her sister Anikó narrowly escaped an SS selection for scabies. She explains that while the infected women were supposedly quarantined, they were most likely sent straight to the crematorium. - Social Security Administration -- Benefits
Santa Monica, CA -May 3- Effective August 1, 2006, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will implement major changes in disability benefits programs. Though changes are aimed at getting benefits faster, they may be making it more complicated. A statement at www.whitehouse.gov/omb/bedget/fy2007/ssa.html, SSA states that in 2005 “those … denied benefits initially and again upon appeal had to wait on average 14 months for a decision.” Thus, review times on SSI and SSDI claims are excessively slow for those in need of disability income. Ronald Miller, Managing Director of Disability Group states, “the time to apply for benefits is now, before changes in the system further limit the rights of claimants.”
