Raw and unseen photographs of life in New York City in the 1970s and '80s by Bruce Gilden

Raw and unseen photographs of life in New York City in the 1970s and '80s by Bruce Gilden After recently moving house, legendary street photographer  Bruce Gilden  discovered hundreds of contact prints and negatives in his personal archives, from shots taken in New York, his native city, between 1978 and 1984. Written By:  Tora Baker 27 November 2019 Images from Bruce Gilden: Lost and Found, published by Éditions Xavier Barral. Via submission From these thousands of images, most of which are new even to Gilden, he has selected around a hundred, all to be revealed in a new book –  Bruce Gilden: Lost and Found . Satisfying a desire to revisit the work of his youth, this historic archive constitutes an inestimable treasure. His candid, up-close images show an extraordinary New York, one that looks almost unrecognisable today. With all the energy of a young man in his thirties, and with no flash, Gilden launched an assault on New York in a visibly tense atmosphere. His extraordina

Bianca Censori Tests The Patience Of Italians Once More As She Covers Up Again With A Pillow

Bianca Censori Tests The Patience Of Italians Once More As She Covers Up Again With A Pillow Kanye “Ye” West’s wife,  Bianca Censori , ironically often dubbed “ Un-Censori ”, drew attention in Florence, Italy, not even a year after being  fined at the Venice International Film Festival for indecent exposure . The 29-year-old was photographed covering her chest with a pillow, again. Ye and Bianca were photographed in Florence on Monday (May 27),  The Daily Mail   reported. The 46-year-old rapper  was wearing an all-white outfit with a hoodie pulled over his head, while his spouse sported a matching white-colored leotard accessorized with a white pillow covering her chest, all paired with knee-high black stiletto boots. Bianca’s pillow number appears as a repeat of her  purple cushion non-outfit  she scandalized social media with last year. In September 2023, the architect was photographed walking the streets of Florence almost topless  while holding a purple cushion over her chest

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps

How common were instances of sexual abuse in Nazi concentration camps. The accounts that rap£ or prostitution was common, Were the guards were given "free reign" over the prisoners given view of them as subhuman The Nazis sort of developed a network of state-controlled brothels during the war. This included both the civilian and military brothels. The Nazis even set up brothels for the forced labor inmates that helped with the German war effort as incentives for higher production from prisoners in camps. Back then these brothels were suppose to serving several needs. For the soldiers that were far away from home, the Nazis thought that having these brothels would reduce the possibility of rape in occupied lands and reducing the sexual relations with impure local women or forced laborer's, as well. Heck, the Nazis tried to use these brothel women to cure homosexuality as a treatment with male prisoners that were gay. Regular German women were exempt from serving in these b

The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other

 The prisoners in concentration camps have sex with each other Steady on. Nearly all concentration camps were single-sex, and at those that held both men and women the sexes were usually kept separate, though at Auschwitz III (Monowitz) and possibly also some other sub-camps they worked together. At extermination camps (where the sexes were not separated) most of the prisoners were killed within 24 hours of arrival. Prisoners did not have privacy. Remember that at the time most people had a horror of same-sex relations, especially between men. However, some Kapos and even guards forced prisoners to have sex with them. In Night Elie Wiesel relates how he found his Kapo having sex with a female prisoner, and he (Wiesel) was given 25 lashes for finding them having sex.* In the Women’s Camp at least one guard forced another woman to have sex with her, and at many camps there was a piepel (camp bum boy). *He also describes the hanging of the piepel of a Blockältester ( ‘block senior’).
