Holocaust survivors visit Auschwitz on 80th anniversary of death camp liberation
EXCLUSIVE: April 23rd, 2025 - Auschwitz, Poland: Sara Weinstein, Year of birth: 1935. Place of birth: Poland. Sara Weinstein was born in 1935 in Stefan, Poland to Benjamin and Miriam, and had five brothers and sisters. In September 1939, the Soviet Union occupied Stefan, and Sara's two older brothers were drafted into the Red Army. In July 1941, the Germans occupied the town, and the family fled and hid in the surrounding village. They were captured and transferred to the ghetto. On the eve of the liquidation of the ghetto, the family was smuggled to the home of a gentile in the nearby village, but after a few months in hiding they were discovered by the Ukrainians. The mother was murdered in front of Sara's eyes, while trying to protect her. Sara was wounded in the shoulder and back. The murderers set the house on fire and fled. The father shouted: "Whoever is alive - get up and run!" Sara, her father, her brother, and two of her sisters carried their mother's body to the forest and dug a grave for her. In the forest, hey dug trenches with their hands, lined them with leaves, and at night covered themselves with leaves and branches. They drank water from wells they dug with their bare hands. Sara, wounded, feverish, lay on the ground for days and nights, alone, without a hug. Everyone was sure that she was dying. But the forest protected them. "We learned to play games in silence. For three years we hid in the forest, I wore only one dress. For many years afterward, I simply did not feel cold.” In the summer of 1944, after the Red Army liberated the area, Sara's father was murdered by Ukrainian villagers. Sara and her two sisters were transferred to Lena Kichler's orphanage. In 1947 she immigrated to Israel. Sara has 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.

Smoked monkey and whole sharks: the suitcase smugglers feeding Europe’s hunger for bushmeat
Customs officers and scientists are working together to combat the highly lucrative illicit trade in wildlife meat that is helping to push some species to extinction.
At Brussels airport, customs staff are digging into suitcases and cooler boxes full of charred meats and fish. There are boxes of flies with shrivelled dead caterpillars and juicy live ones. It is 6am, and they are checking all hold luggage from four morning flights - three from Africa and one from China - in an attempt to stem the flow of illegal meat from wildlife making its way into Europe via this major transit hub. There is a lingering smell of dried seafood.
Staff here are used to finding all kinds of creatures in baggage, from a 1.5-metre basking shark folded inside a box to a whole smoked monkey. But most meat comes dried, smoked, charred and chopped, so it is hard to identify it. In some cases, that's probably the point. A hunk of meat being confiscated could be from a cane rat, catfish, monkey or pangolin - or it could just be a bit of beef.

Pictures must credit : Crash Baggage
Luggage that looks like its been battered about is hoping to make holidays less stressful.The team behind the Crash Baggage deliberately dented and caved in luggage reckon the look stops travellers fretting about their bags are airports.That’s because they already look well worn with a polycarbonate shell.They also come in cabin sized and standard sized variants in a range of colours as well as transparent.So no one need worry about have their pristine new suitcase bashed in.The idea was the brain child of Italian company founder Francesco Pavia.Whilst in an airport he “watched in amazement ” as people spent time and money protecting their luggage.

Luggage that looks like its been battered about is hoping to make holidays less stressful.The team behind the Crash Baggage deliberately dented and caved in luggage reckon the look stops travellers fretting about their bags are airports.That’s because they already look well worn with a polycarbonate shell.They also come in cabin sized and standard sized variants in a range of colours as well as transparent.So no one need worry about have their pristine new suitcase bashed in.The idea was the brain child of Italian company founder Francesco Pavia.Whilst in an airport he “watched in amazement ” as people spent time and money protecting their luggage.

Abandoned suitcases left at Stansted Airport in Essex on Sunday afternoon waiting to be collected by passengers who lost their luggage in the travel chaos at the weekend
Abandoned suitcases waiting to be collected at Stansted Airport, Essex, UK - 29 Jul 2018
More than ONE THOUSAND suitcases are lying abandoned in baggage claim at Stansted Airport today (Sun) after a weekend of travel chaos. Hundreds of unclaimed bags and suitcases have been left in the baggage area after Ryanair cancelled flights following the thunderstorms on Friday. The budget airline cancelled flights on Friday, Saturday and today, leaving hundreds of holidaymakers fuming. Flights across Europe, including those to Dublin, Cork, Barcelona and Budapest, were cancelled, leaving passengers stranded at Stansted. A large handwritten notice in the luggage area reads: "For Ryanair cancelled flights. Please collect your baggage from Reclaim 4. Please re-book your flights online or on Ryanair App." The rows and rows of left luggage include baby buggies, rucksacks and plastic bags.
