Despite postwar disclaimers of powerlessness against SS infiltration, Albert Speer, the Reich Minister of Armaments and War Production, also enjoyed good access to Hitler. Speer had control over the allocation of raw materials, construction resources, and the engineering corps of the state, whose significance increased in proportion to the level of destruction that Allied bombing wrought in the Reich.

Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters are expected to gather in London for the latest demonstration calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. The Metropolitan police will be on high alert and about 1,500 officers will be deployed for the protests on Saturday. Moussa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas official, said in a television interview last month that Hamas was not responsible for protecting civilians in Gaza. The tunnels under the strip, he said, exist only to protect Hamas; the UN and Israel should protect civilians. Other Hamas leaders have berated the UN for failing to send enough food and medicine. They brought misery upon Gaza by carrying out their massacre in Israel last month but want someone else to deal with the fallout. His father, Khalil, cried as he brought his son down from his shoulders and looked him in the eye for the first time in seven months. Israeli forces had arrested Jamal at his home in the Palestinian city of Jericho last spring and detained him without charge or trial.

Thailand’s ministry of foreign affairs said 10 Thai hostages had been released and their families had been notified.We hope the picture will be beautiful at the end of the day,” Ziv Agmon, a legal adviser to Netanyahu’s office, told reporters, adding that Israel would “follow the agreement”. You will find that each conflict is described with a set of dates, which implies a defined ‘beginning and end’. While this is useful to help with classification, it is important to note that the causes and consequences of individual wars or conflicts extend far beyond these narrow ranges. Frequently, there are wider issues which connect many of them together; exploring and documenting these links through our collections is an ongoing process.

Even at the height of its power and influence in 1942–1944, the SS was not all-powerful inside Nazi Germany. In the occupied territories, the SS encroached upon the jurisdiction of the civilian authorities and even the Wehrmacht. However, as the invading Allied armies and Allied bombings from the air brought the war home to Germany in 1943–1944, the SS was challenged by two powerful rivals. Her husband and his siblings were waiting at a hospital to reunite with their mother, she told Israel’s Kan public broadcaster.

Some sources have suggested the ceasefire could last up to 10 days as a result. On the 14 th August 1945, 300 Jewish child survivors of the Holocaust arrived at Crosby on Eden airfield to begin their long process of recovery from the deprivations and horrors that they had endured. They were part of a larger programme, funded by the Jewish organisation the Central British Fund. This made provision for 1000 child survivors of the Holocaust to travel to Britain, but only 732 could be found. This first group of 300 children would spend time near Lake Windermere in the Lake District as part of a programme of recovery and recuperation. Subsequent groups were sent to other parts of the UK. Tom: After the War is for children aged 10 plus. I wrote it with selected Year 5 Grasmere School pupils, but a few Y5s might find the subject matter too intense. The Y5s I worked with said they wanted to know what happened in the Holocaust. They wanted the facts so they can understand. So I made the book more about the facts than trying to evoke intense emotional reactions. AA.VV. (25 April 2006). Album Chart-Book Complete Edition 1970~2005. Tokyo, Japan: Oricon.
