  AUSCHWITZ CHILDREN AND MENGELE...

  In the name of humanity, that was the explanation of Dr. Claus Karl Schilling for the execution of malaria experiments on 1,200 inmates of the Dachau concentration camp during the Second World War. The reputable Schilling had come to Dachau with the personal permission of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in 1942 because he could use the prisoners as research subjects without the restriction of obtaining their consent. Schilling was not an exception.  
  Many Nazi doctors seized the unique opportunity to execute human experiments without legal and ethical restrictions during the war. The SS and the Wehrmacht either initiated or supported the research of the Nazi doctors. The central question that puzzled jurists and scientists is how these doctors, who were educated to heal people, could execute human experiments and deliberately harm and even kill people. To some scientists, their acts stand out as ‘exemplars of evil.’ This judgment is based on the fact that prisoners did not give their informed consent, the cruel and sometimes sadistic character of the experiments, and because never before in medical experiments was the death of the research subjects a central element of the research design. Many people think that ‘science went mad’ in the Third Reich and that Nazi doctors who committed these crimes were pseudo-scientists, sadists, and even monsters. However, thinking these perpetrators were madmen or monsters is a false explanation.  
  It is confronting to know that physicians belonging to the most advanced medical community in the world at the time, who had sworn to ‘do no harm, ' could commit these crimes. 
  On this trail, Dr. Josef Mengele’s pseudo-scientific research at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II led to immeasurable suffering among the camp’s children.

  Get It Out - On the Politics of...

  At least one hysterectomy is performed every minute of the year, making it the most common gynecological surgery worldwide. By the age of sixty-five, one out of five people born with a uterus will have it removed. So, why do we seldom talk about this surgery? Highly performed yet overlooked, examining the paradox of hysterectomy begins to unravel the various problems with how we medically treat uteruses and the people who have them. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out weaves centuries of medical history with rich qualitative data from 100 women, trans men, and nonbinary people who had, want, or are considering hysterectomy. In compelling detail, Andréa Becker reveals how America’s healthcare system routinely deprives people of the ability to control their own bodies along race and gender lines. When people ask for a hysterectomy, they are often met with pushback: Are you sick enough? Old enough? Have you had enough babies? Will you regret this? How will your future husband feel about this? Yet this pushback is not equally experienced. While some people are barred access, others are ushered toward a hysterectomy. These contradictory recommendations reveal the persistent biases entrenched within healthcare. 
   
   
   
  Get It Out interrogates how little choice people with uteruses ultimately have over their reproductive health, and explores what these "choices" signify amid interlocking systems of inequality.

  The Antichrist

  Friedrich Nietzsche

  • 0

  The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche is an influential philosophical work which explores the metaphysical implications of Atheism and moral nihilism. Nietzsche's exploration of the potential implications of atheism leads him to conclude that, without the traditional basis provided by God, morality becomes an arbitrary set of conventions derived from human opinion. This approach undermines the Judeo-Christian conception of morality as divinely ordained and encourages readers to consider alternative systems of ethics and value. Read in English, unabridged.

Author Devin Carroll, drawing from his extensive experience helping distressed and confused clients, has created this essential resource to help readers confidently navigate the Social Security system.

The second part specifically addresses the unique rules and considerations for public servants, with detailed explanations of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). 
  Carroll's motivation for writing this book stemmed from witnessing firsthand how the complicated and verbose nature of Social Security rules often left people frustrated and potentially missing out on their rightful benefits. Through years of studying, speaking engagements, and writing about Social Security, he realized that most questions could be answered through a solid grasp of the basic principles.

  Brace yourself for a thrilling journey into the heart of black life and culture through the philosophy of Hibirism, masterminded by Donald Mokgale and Ernest Nkomotje.
  Hibirism, noun: Derived from the social greeting 'hibiri', made famous by the South African song Sister Bethina (a hit by musician Mgarimbe in 2006), Hibirism adds depth and meaning to the salutation and signifier 'hibiri'. The goal is to explain some of the underlying reasons behind our actions and uncover profound insights within the experiences of black life. Ultimately, Hibirism transforms an empty signifier into a noun, referring to a specific philosophy or set of ideas that elevate social situations and challenge existing norms.
  This book contains humorous anecdotes, thought-provoking ideas, witty banter, and profound observations on black life, showcasing Hibirism at play. The book also shows how Hibirism can be used as a tool for creative problem-solving as it probes deeper into conventions to unearth insights like no other framework.
  Among many captivating topics, they embark on a quest to discover the perfect vetkoek (igwinya), draw parallels between the arrangement of atoms and four-four masihlalisane (a seating arrangement in local taxis), offer a deep dive into the Amapiano movement, and even share the tale of Bobby, a beloved township dog known to survive on nothing but a diet of pap and H2O.
  If you are an individual or a business aiming to deepen your understanding and build a more meaningful connection with the black world, Introducing Hibirism is for you.
  Join the movement. Hibiri.
