Lena Baker was a black maid that was put on trial for the killing of her white employer

Lena Baker was a black maid that was put on trial for the killing of her white employer Earnest Knight for trying to rape her. Though she claimed self defense, she was sentenced to death by an all white male jury.

Her trial only lasted one day!

Sitting in the electric chair, this is what she said: "What I done, I did in self defense or I would've been killed myself. Where I was, I could not overcome it. I am ready to meet my God".

She was executed on March 5, 1945 as the only woman ever executed in Georgia. She left behind 3 children. Her last words, along side with her picture are displayed near the now-retired electric chair at a museum at Georgia state prison in Reidsville.

She was Pardon 60 years after her Murder.

Lucy McRae creates cushion machine to offer lab-grown humans a womb experience

Future humans grown in artificial wombs could replace the embrace of a parent with Heavy Duty Love, a machine created by sci-fi designer  Lucy McRae  for the  Venice Architecture Biennale 2021 . The cushioned machine completely surrounds its occupant in a supportive embrace, helping them to become more comfortable with contact and intimacy. The machine surrounds the user with cushions Los Angeles-based  McRae  imagines it could compensate for a lack of human contact in early life, which could become a reality in the near future. Scientists believe that artificial wombs will be developed within the next decade. "I made this machine because I am curious about the human consequences of bypassing the womb and that first hug of a 'mother'," McRae explained. "[I'm] envisioning a new generation of children having radically different formative years, developing new types of sensitivities and neurobiological quirks. Heavy Duty Love questions whether these future sensi...

German soldier with a Soviet female POW in a field, 1941

Dude looks like he was just in the middle of something with the POW and looked up to see a bunch of Soviet soldiers staring at him. He looks caught off guard and his gear is messed up (off to the side). My guess is camera persons took this pic while an altercation betweeen the two was going on or had just finished. Plus the grass (or whatever there standing in) is all pushed down which indicates signs od a ground struggle Sick fuck is holding his belt as if he was removing it. Knowing that 10 million women were raped by the Wehrmacht on the eastern front, Im fairly certain that the same will unfortunately be her fate His right hand appears to be holding the magazine on an MP-38/40, in a barrel up position. Can't quite tell what's going on with the left hand. The cartridge belt is on sideways, anyway. Unless he invented a new fashion trend, I would assume he's been thrashing around and the belt shifted. Not good. 60 Minutes did a story on rape of Soviet women by German soldi...

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’). ...
