The Execution of The Female Guard of Stutthof Concentration Camp ... Moment Never To Be Forgotten

-
Image
  Gerda Steinhoff, Jenny Wanda Barkmann, Wanda Klaff, Ewa Paradies and Elisabeth Becker were all brought to the gallows for their executions. Each one had been found guilty of crimes against humanity for their involvement in the evils of Stutthof.  They were all given the "short-drop" method of hanging which basically strangled the condemned for many minutes before they died.  Been better if the entire population of Germany (men, women, and children) were executed for being Nazis.   Their death could be done by slowly strangled to death, water boarded, impaled on a stake (Vlad Dracula preferred method), crucified, or skinned alive on live television so we hear all their screams and pleads of mercy as it took days to die.

The images show the victim being battered as shoppers and workers pass by Chinese 'adulteress' stripped and beaten in street This is the shocking moment a woman accused of sleeping with someone else's husband was savagely beaten in broad daylight as passers-by watched on. It's the latest in a string of copycat attacks in China, including one a month ago when a half-naked woman was stamped on by a stiletto-wearing rival. Locals say such scraps go ignored because there is an acceptance that love cheats are deserving of a beating having caused a man to cheat on his partner. In this latest incident, accused Lin Yao Li, 38, was ambushed by four women as she walked home from shops in Puyang, in eastern China's Henan Province. Savage: Lin Yao Li was accused of sleeping with another woman's husband(CEN) Punching and kicking her to the ground while she writhed in agony, her attackers then ripped her clothes off and continued the beating, pulling her hair and kicking her

Montana Historical SocietyJohn Jeremiah Garrison Johnston, nicknamed Liver-Eating Johnson.

On November 8, 2017, a young Chinese man named Wu Yongning tried to do pull-ups off the side of a 62-story building. It was the last decision he ever made. Wu Yongning was an internet sensation who performed terrifying stunts atop tall buildings — and garnered a legion of fans. His videos, which often showed the popular stuntman hanging dangerously by his arms or legs high above the ground, racked up millions of views. The intense videos also became a quick money-maker for the burgeoning internet star, who had planned to wed his girlfriend after he’d earned money from an especially dangerous “rooftopping” stunt in 2017. While dangling off the edge of a 62-story building in central China, the 26-year-old attempted to do his famous pull-ups.

THE WORST AND HORRIBLE CRUCITIXION ANCIENT METHOD OF EXECUTION..

-
Image
  The Crucifixion was an ancient execution method, in which the criminal's hands and feet were bound or nailed to a wooden, cross-like structure. It wasa capital punishment reserved for slaves, traitors, "heretics", and usually the worst of criminals. It became widespread during the reign of Alexander the Great, but it still remains in occasional use in some countries. The good news:  The time is now, "The King of Kings" is Calling you, Repent from your ways of sins for the time is now There were various methods of performing the crucifixion. Usually, the prisoner had to drag the crossbeam of his cross, weighing around 100 pounds, to the place of execution.  Subsequently, his outstretched arms were bound to the crossbeam, or sometimes nailed through the wrists, and the crossbeam was raised and fixed to the already standing upright post. Death was usually caused by overall exhaustion or by heart failure. Sometimes, to shorten the victim's suffering, his legs

Remembering the painful death if Istvan Reiner, in Auschwitz camp in 1944.

Image
      Istvan Reiner  stares straight into the camera with his big, dark eyes- he looks happy, playing with card and a hole-punch. Not long after the photo was taken, he was deported to Auschwitz, and sent with his grandmother into the gas chambers and murdered.  I wonder what kind of a child he was; shy and quiet or boisterous and energetic? I wonder how old he was when he learned to walk, what his first word was, if he had a favourite toy. I wonder if he had friends, and if so, did any of them survive? I wonder if he had any sort of childhood, if he ever saw the sea, learned the alphabet, or painted a picture. I wonder what kind of a man he would have been, what he would have believed and how he would have lived. I wonder if he would have become a farmer or a postman or a doctor; he might have changed the way we understand the universe, or he might never have read a book. I wonder what he would look like if he'd survived and was still alive, and what sort of lives his grandchildre
