  A Defence of Skeletons

  G.K. Chesterton

  Why do humans have a horror of skeletons? Is this aversion justified? What does it signify? 
  Such are the animating questions of this essay by G. K. Chesterton, who acts as a witty defendant for humanity’s hidden form: 
  “Without claiming for the human skeleton a wholly conventional beauty,” he writes, “we may assert that he is certainly not uglier than a bull-dog, whose popularity never wanes, and that he has a vastly more cheerful and ingratiating expression.” 
  This essay is one in a series titled ‘The Defendant’, first published as a collection in 1901, after the individual essays were published in The Speaker. Here, a selection of these essays has been reissued by Voices of Today for a new generation.

  “Yes, master. I worship straight men.” 
  “Yeah…that’s a good boy.” Grant pets my hair like I’m some sort of dog. “It feels good to serve straight guys, doesn’t it?” 
  I kneel on the locker room floor, gazing up as the entire swim team surrounds me. Their tight speedos hug their fit, smooth bodies, causing my eyes to linger on the enormous shapes between their legs. 
  “Kiss his feet. Show how you feel about him,” Mike calls out. 
  I fall to the ground and begin my display of loyalty. Not long ago, I thought I liked girls, but these aggressive jocks showed me the truth. I’ll do anything for them—strip nude, drink their essence, let them all use my body… 
  I need to obey.

  WILLING HANDS - The Nazi Camp...

  By the bestselling author of Righteous Renegades, Twelve Years of Terror, and The SS: Anatomy of a Criminal State. 
  On 22 July 1942, notices appeared on the walls of the Warsaw Ghetto announcing a "resettlement." They said nothing about where people were going. The next morning, the first train left for Treblinka. In the weeks that followed, 265,000 people were murdered — the largest single act of destruction of any community in the Second World War. 
  The Holocaust did not happen in spite of Europe. In too many places, it happened because of it. 
  Willing Hands is the definitive account of how the Nazi genocide was built, staffed, and sustained — not only by the SS, but by the Dutch policemen who conducted roundups, the French officials who organised transports, the Lithuanian riflemen who volunteered for the killing squads, the Ukrainian auxiliaries who drove deportees to the gas chambers, and the Hungarian government that deported 437,000 of its own citizens to Auschwitz in fifty-six days in 1944 — with Germany already losing the war. 
  Across twenty-four chapters, this landmark work traces the machinery of the Holocaust from Dachau in 1933 to Bergen-Belsen's liberation in 1945. It gives the Operation Reinhard death camps — Bełżec, Sobibór, and Treblinka, where 1.7 million people were murdered in eighteen months — their full historical weight, and examines the Trawniki men, the auxiliary killers whose participation made the killing programme possible. 
  It does not look away from the question too many histories avoid: who, beyond the Germans, made this possible — and why? 
  Authoritative and unflinching, Willing Hands is the culmination of a decade of Holocaust scholarship — essential reading on what happened, how, and what it demands of us now. 
  Published 22 July 2026 — the 84th anniversary of the first deportations from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka.
