U.S. airline flights land in Atlanta after bomb threats
Bomb threats against two U.S. airline flights on Saturday prompted North American air defense fighter planes to scramble to accompany them to their destination in Atlanta, an airport spokesman said. The planes landed safely at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, no bombs were found aboard either and the Atlanta airport has returned to normal operations, said airport spokesman Reese McCranie. Threats against Delta Air Lines flight 1156, coming from Portland, Oregon, and Southwest Airlines flight 2492, from Milwaukee, had been deemed credible, McCranie said. Several media outlets reported that a Twitter user going by the name Zortic wrote of planting bombs on the two planes, stating in a message to a Delta Twitter account, "I have a bomb on one of your planes, but I forgot which one when I left the airport.

Nazi camp survivors recall Auschwitz
By
Barbara Goldberg NEW YORK (Reuters) - In a little leather book, the
kind some men use to list lovers, Holocaust survivor Hy Abrams keeps the
names that still haunt him: Auschwitz, Plaszow, Mauthausen, Melk and
Ebensee. It has been 70 years since the Soviet army liberated the
Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, where Abrams was taken at age 20
by German Nazi soldiers and separated from his mother, father, brother
and three sisters. Abrams, at 90, is among the oldest of a dwindling
population of Holocaust survivors who gather each week at a Brooklyn
synagogue to share stories, and perhaps lunch and a dance or two. With
an average age of 79, they are poor and in need of special help as the
result of stress and malnutrition, said the UJA-Federation of New York,
which supports the Brooklyn gatherings organized by Selfhelp Community
Services.Read More ...

Auschwitz: enduring testament to Nazi horrors
The Auschwitz concentration camp, one of the most haunting symbols of the horrors of Nazism, is today a firm fixture on the tourist trail. Thousands of people, including many school children, visit each year to learn about the gas chambers that were part of the Nazi's "final solution". This despite the fact that from the summer of 1942 "information about the massacres of the Jews in territory occupied by the German army was complete," said French historian Georges Bensoussan. Governments at the time have been accused of turning a blind eye to the Nazi death camps.
