  At Terezín, many children sang for the Nazi officials and the Red Cross. They were used as propaganda tools, between 1943 and 1944, to make the world believe that Hitler had given a "paradise" to the Jews. Only around 100 of the 15,000 innocent people who passed through this transit camp survived.
  Ela Stein Weissberger, deported at the age of 11, is one of the few survivors. In Hans Krása's opera Brundibár (The Bumblebee) performed at the camp, she played the role of the Cat, the rebellious animal who attacks the mustached monster in the hope of winning the war! Her poignant testimony gives voice once again to the courageous, hopeful children who left 4,500 drawings, diaries and poems at Terezín.
  Like an internal road movie, the author offers a parallel narrative—she looks back on her own family history, her search for Ela, her anecdotes from the shooting of a documentary film, and she speaks up for all children targeted by hatred.

  A lack of understanding about Asperger's Syndrome often leads to significant challenges for those affected. Individuals with Asperger's typically struggle with social comprehension and reciprocal communication. If others recognize and acknowledge these difficulties, it can help prevent the onset of clinical depression for those with Asperger's. People with this syndrome often have a deep interest in specific fields and perceive culture, people, and the world around them in a unique way. 
  When meeting someone new, we quickly form judgments based on their appearance, including their clothing, facial expressions, body language, voice, and tone. These impressions shape our responses. However, those with Asperger's may find it challenging to pick up on subtle social cues, which complicates their interactions and can lead to confusion, stress, and depression. 
  Children with Asperger's require additional support and care, while adults with the syndrome benefit from job opportunities that match their skills and abilities. These individuals have much to offer when given the right opportunities. 
  Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of Asperger's Syndrome, but it is crucial to share this knowledge to shift perspectives and help those affected manage their challenges. Individuals with Asperger's often excel in noticing minute details, a trait that can be either a strength or a weakness. They may not conform to societal norms but possess a strong drive for truth, knowledge, and excellence.

  British Empire - Details of the...

  The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
  The roots of the British Empire can be traced back to England’s desire to expand its economic and political influence, driven by competition with other European powers like Spain and Portugal, who were leading the Age of Exploration. These countries had established lucrative colonial empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, amassing great wealth and resources. Inspired by their success, England, along with France and the Netherlands, began establishing its own colonies and trading posts, particularly in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 
  During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British Empire grew in strength through a combination of military conquests, naval power, and strategic alliances. Following its unification with Scotland through the 1707 Act of Union, Britain emerged as a major colonial power, extending its control across vast regions. The empire's reach expanded dramatically after the series of conflicts with its rivals, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the long-standing hostilities with France, culminating in Britain's dominance over North America and its influence over global trade routes.

  The Voice of America (VOA) is the oldest and largest US government-funded international media organization. In 2020, Donald Trump nominated Michael Pack, a right-wing documentarian and close friend of Steve Bannon, to lead the US Agency for Global Media—the independent federal agency overseeing US-funded international media. During Pack's seven month tenure, more than thirty whistleblowers filed complaints against him, and a judge ruled that he had infringed journalists' constitutional right to freedom of speech. 
   
   
   
  How did such a major international public service media network become intensely politicized by government allies in such a short time, despite having its editorial independence protected by law? 
   
   
   
  Capturing News, Capturing Democracy puts these events in historical and international context—and develops a new analytical framework for understanding government capture and its connection to broader processes of democratic backsliding. Drawing from in-depth interviews with network managers and journalists, and analysis of private correspondence and internal documents, Kate Wright, Martin Scott, and Mel Bunce analyze how political appointees, White House officials, and right-wing media influenced VOA—changing its reporting of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the 2020 presidential election.
