sound design Created in 2002 by former host Jad Abumrad the program began as an exploration of scientific inquiry Over the years it has evolved to become a platform for long-form journalism and storytelling Radiolab is hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser Harold Bergen performing audio tech duties during the Nuremberg Trials to work as a sound technician for the Nuremberg Trials at which Nazi leaders faced a reckoning for atrocities committed during World War II confirming that defendants including Hermann Goering could hear the translation piped into their headsets lifted them a little bit so we could hear but asking them if they could hear,” he said in an 2016 interview for StoryCorps that was conducted by his daughter Kathy Bergen “One of the things they wanted to be sure about was that the defendants could not claim the sound was not working and they were deprived of their rights,” he said in a 2016 interview with the Pritzker Military Museum. Mr. Bergen, who grew up on the Northwest Side in Albany Park had nightmares as a teenager that Germans would make their way to the United States and set up concentration camps as he sat in the courtroom with the accused “I never felt any personal animosity toward the Nazis in front of me,” Mr Bergen said in the interview with the military museum And it was hard to imagine that they did what they said they did “His defense was that he was being a loyal German The one thing he said that I don’t think anybody else said was ‘If we had won...Eisenhower would be sitting here 24 of the most important Nazi military and political leaders were tried Goering killed himself with poison before he could be hanged Asked by his daughter whether justice was served Bergen said in the StoryCorps interview: “I think as much justice was served as was available How much justice brings back 6 million Jews The Nuremberg trial did not stop war or mass murder or atrocities maybe there’s less than there would have been otherwise We’ll never know...I would like to think something good came out of it.” He didn’t talk about his service much until his daughter-in-law Sue Bergen and his daughter brought it up about it a decade ago “Nobody asked,” he said of his silence on the matter Bergen joined the Army at 18 and got radio and infantry training ahead of a planned invasion of mainland Japan that never happened because that country’s leaders surrendered after the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the trials in April 1946 after the prosecution had presented its case Bergen lived a life of relative comfort in Germany He ate well at the government dining hall and had time to collect German beer steins feel lucky to have gotten that assignment just because life was so good,” he said in the StoryCorps interview Mr. Bergen was born March 24, 1927, to Ida and Charles Bergen, who lived in Lawndale, then largely Jewish His mother was a homemaker and later worked as a secretary for an insurance company He attended Penn Elementary School and Roosevelt High School Bergen went to the Illinois Institute of Technology on the GI Bill and then worked in public relations at one point heading the Chicago office of the firm Ruder Finn His corporate clients included Miller Brewing Company and General Motors Mr. Bergen, whose first wife Molly Paskind Bergen died in 1974, raised his family in St. Joseph, Mich., Skokie and Highland Park.

war crimes and crimes against humanity after World War II Kupferschmid Holocaust/Human Rights Project (HHRP) commemorated the anniversary by bringing together esteemed scholars and experts for a symposium on March 18 advances awareness of human rights challenges across the globe and ensures that the historical and ethical lessons the world learned from the Holocaust are forever remembered After a brief introduction by Seth Kupferschmid who paid tribute to the impactful work his brother Owen did to discuss and promote the practice of human rights law the first panelists provided perspectives on contemporary global justice Ruti Teitel of New York Law School focused on a paradigm shift that occurred at the end of World War I away from the conventional norm of collective punishment and towards individual punishment where it was the individuals who were held responsible a change heavily pushed by the United States “We can see the importance of presidential leadership in resolving these conflicts,” Teitel said John’s University Law then offered an overview of the process leading up to “war- making was a sovereign power of the states,” he explained “The law had nothing to say about it.” That changed in 1945 when the allied powers signed the agreement to create the world’s first international criminal court a move that demonstrated judicial independence ad hoc tribunal processes are successor institutions to Nuremberg “Each of them is a starting point,” Barrett said “Each of them works in extremely difficult contexts.” Additionally these processes today are often sought in the middle of war like the idea that it was the trials themselves that brought about the democratization of Germany “The democratization of Germany is much more complicated and often has to do with the rejection of the lessons of Nuremberg 70 percent of Germans surveyed thought the Nuremberg trials were fair it had fallen to 38 percent.” Pendas explained that it was not the prosecutors Pendas said the legacy of Nuremberg matters most because it helps articulate a culture shift around the norms of international violence that lead to a lot of self-policing “It increasingly becomes something that is robust and real of what is and isn’t acceptable in war time,” he explained “That leads to political pressure more than legal pressure that can rein in the worst forms of violence talked about the trials’ impact on his own career as a prosecutor and former trial attorney at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia There’s more to a high profile trial than just bringing an individual to justice it was important to highlight the hypocrisy of “victor’s justice” that can occur when you impose an ex post facto judicial system on a country What is the purpose of a high-profile trial then We’re going to honor the rights and rule of law and what our country stands for,” Chakravada explained To make a public showing of the facts that are uncontroverted and tested in the crucible of cross examination.” He also discussed the importance of doing something to get through the trauma to be able to understand what happened and move on “The Nuremberg Trials had an incredible influence on what international criminal law and humanitarian aid became,” Chakravada said he predicts that we’ll see its impact in criminal corporate responsibility because it is often corporations that manage to escape justice “Is corporate responsibility going to become a substitute for individual responsibility?” he asked Elisabeth Ryan ’06 introduced the second panel, giving a touching remembrance to her father, Allan Ryan a BC Law adjunct faculty member for many years and his work in international humanitarian law The panelists then brought a more modern take to the conversation speaking on the laws of targeting during war and proportionality provided a brief overview of the analysis in attacking a military objective She explored the definition of proportionality a complex subject that provides only vague guidance in wartime decision making and dual use of sites that contain both military targets and civilians Chopas emphasized that proportionality is a difficult calculus “Never can you overlook the protection of persons when you are furthering your military goals,” she said adding that proportionality is determined at the moment the decision to launch an attack is made who has worked as a prosecutor and as a judge at The Hague added to this complexity the issue of modern technology and how it is changing not just the battlefield but the courtroom Who fired the projectile that caused the damage “And you have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.” new forms of evidence are emerging brought about by modern technology How do you authenticate each of these types of evidence?” Weiner asked “There are so many issues in international humanitarian law that have to be determined It is our duty to continue their efforts and try to resolve these issues.” The session concluded with panelist Tim McLaughlin ’09 a former Marine who served during the Iraq war and later worked in Sarajevo as a prosecution intern at the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in its war crimes section “I can give you my experiences with getting it right and getting it wrong in the context of proportionality,” McLaughlin said and recounted several specific moments where he faced snap decisions that demonstrated the complexity of proportionality and what it really means to weigh civilian endangerment in the middle of an enemy attack.  “Every single person I have ever met in the US military takes the job so incredibly seriously it would blow your mind The degree of planning that goes into killing people The degree of planning that goes into warfare,” he said But there’s never an easy or obvious solution when faced with the problem of proportionality and civilians still get shot up,” McLaughlin said The symposium concluded with a reception where participants came together still discussing the rules of war toward the common goal that Kupferschmid intended when he founded the Human Rights and Holocaust Project The Nuremberg Laws transformed the definition of Jewish identity from religious to racial stripping rights and paving the way for the Holocaust Top Photo: German Nuremberg Law teaching chart that distinguishes the hierarchal difference between German-blooded individuals The chart separates individuals into three “races”: German-Blooded and Mischling (part Jewish) based on their grandparent’s race United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection Gift of Virginia Ehrbar through Hillel at Kent State University “I decide who is a Jew.” Viennese mayor Karl Lueger, a vicious antisemite who ran an 1895 political platform based almost solely on hatred toward Jews, made this infamous statement in response to a question about why he had Jewish friends.[1] It captures in horrific succinctness how the label “Jewish” increasingly had little to do with actual religious or ethnic identity and instead had been transmogrified into a broadly conceived slur hurled at anyone perceived as an “other.” After becoming chancellor of Germany in January 1933 Hitler and his Nazi colleagues quickly learned that they needed to soft-peddle their antisemitic messaging when a nationwide boycott of Jewish businesses on April 1 largely failed to gain traction with the general public after Hitler had effectively consolidated power by purging external and internal enemies winning over the support of the Wehrmacht’s generals and combining the office of the president and chancellor into a singular role of Führer did he feel emboldened enough to enact sweeping anti-Jewish legislation.  the Nuremberg Laws were fabricated on a whim Preparations for the 1935 Nazi Party rally at the parade grounds in Nuremberg were well under way by early September and the weeklong event was to culminate in Hitler announcing a new “Reich Flag Law,” which would make the party’s swastika banner the German national flag Hitler also intended to announce that Jews could no longer hoist the flag Hitler announced these laws at the rally later that day the “Law for the Protection of German Blood and Honor,” forbade marriage and sexual relationships between Jews and non-Jews It was aimed at preventing the crime of Rassenschande—“race defilement”—the Nazi fear of miscegenation between “Aryans” and “non-Aryans.” The second was the “Reich Citizenship Law,” which stripped many basic rights of citizenship from Jews and laid the foundation for determining who could be classified as a “racial Jew.” Historian Thomas Childers writes, “it was also symptomatic of Hitler’s modus operandi that after firing off a sweeping ideological barrage against the Jews, party and state officials were left to translate his pronouncements into practical policy, and here—again typically—little agreement could be found.”[5] Nowhere was this more apparent than in defining who exactly was classified as a “Jew” and who was not Nazi ideologues had drawn up the scientific-looking chart pictured here to explain the Nazi construct of the “racial Jew.”  German Nuremberg Law teaching chart that distinguishes the hierarchal difference between German-blooded individuals Eugenics poster entitled "The

Meyer, Jr. was discharged from the Army on January 16 He went on to received with bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas in Civil Engineering He relocated to Topeka where he worked for the Kansas Department of Transportation for 37 years before retiring He later wrote of his war experience in a memoir Commentator Katie Keckeisen is a local history librarian for the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library and a former collections archivist at the Kansas Historical Society own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment Boston University provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation US View all partners After World War II, Nuremberg, Germany, was the site of trials of Nazi officials charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg trials were landmarks in the development of international law. But one of them has also been applied in peacetime: the “Medical Trial,” which has helped to shape bioethics ever since Twenty Nazi physicians and three administrators were tried for committing lethal and torturous human experimentation including freezing prisoners in ice water and subjecting them to simulated high-altitude experiments Other Nazi experiments included infecting prisoners with malaria typhus and poisons and subjecting them to mustard gas and sterilization These criminal experiments were conducted mostly in the concentration camps and often ended in the death of the subjects As part of their judgment, the American judges drafted what has become known as The Nuremberg Code which set forth key requirements for ethical treatment and medical research being the first major articulation of the doctrine of informed consent Yet its guidelines may not be enough to protect humans against new potentially “species-endangering” research today The code consists of 10 principles that the judges ruled must be followed as both a matter of medical ethics and a matter of international human rights law The first and most famous sentence stands out: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” In addition to voluntary and informed consent the code also requires that subjects have a right to withdraw from an experiment at any time The other provisions are designed to protect the health of the subjects including that the research must be done only by a qualified investigator be based on preliminary research on animals and ensure adequate health and safety protection of subjects Under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had been the commanding general in Europe, the U.S. Department of Defense adopted the code’s principles in 1953 – one sign of its influence. Its fundamental consent principle is also summarized in the U.N.’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which declares that “no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation.” Yet some physicians tried to distance themselves from the Nuremberg Code because its source was judicial rather than medical and because they did not want to be linked in any way to the Nazi physicians on trial at Nuremberg The World Medical Association, a physicians group set up after the Nuremberg Doctors Trial, formulated its own set of ethical guidelines, named the “Helsinki Declaration.” As with Hippocrates Helsinki permitted exceptions to informed consent such as when the physician-researcher thought that silence was in the best medical interest of the subject The Nuremberg Code was written by judges to be applied in the courtroom Helinski was written by physicians for physicians There have been no subsequent international trials on human experimentation since Nuremberg so the text of the Nuremberg Code remains unchanged The code has been a major focus of my work on health law and bioethics and I spoke in Nuremberg on its 50th and 75th anniversaries at conferences sponsored by the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War Both events celebrated the Nuremberg Code as a human rights proclamation I remain a strong supporter of the Nuremberg Code and believe that following its precepts is both an ethical and a legal obligation of physician researchers Yet the public can’t expect Nuremberg to protect it against all types of scientific research or weapons development dropped atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki – two years before the Nuremberg trials began – it became evident that our species was capable of destroying ourselves is that a super harmful agent “escapes” from the laboratory before such a countermeasure can be developed Our next question is who gets to decide whether species-endangering research should be done I believe that species-endangering research should require multinational Such a mechanism would be one way to make the survival of our own endangered species more likely – and ensure we are able to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Nuremberg Code The firm also plans additional €150m investment for further development in battery technology and increased value MAN Truck & Bus has officially initiated battery production at the Nuremberg production site in Germany The firm is also planning to make an additional €150m investment for further development in battery technology and increased value The expansion will involve the production of battery modules with funding provided by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) and the Free State of Bavaria The Free State of Bavaria will also provide around €30m for the further development and research into battery technology at the MAN site in Nuremberg focusing on areas such as battery

analysis MAN CEO Alexander Vlaskamp said: “Today is a historic day for MAN the company that invented the diesel engine is entering a new era “Today we announced another milestone in the transformation towards climate-friendly drives: MAN will invest a further €150m in the expansion of battery production for future battery generations in Nuremberg We have also recently stepped up our efforts in the further development of state-of-the-art diesel technology “This brings the total investment in Nuremberg to half a billion euros This is a clear commitment to Bavaria and Germany as a centre of innovation.” the company plans to invest approximately €250m in project in the production of the latest generation of diesel engines for the new D30 PowerLion driveline The company anticipates that nearly half of the trucks in Europe and approximately 90% of city buses will be equipped with zero-emission drive systems by 2030 the “highly efficient and fuel-efficient” D30 engine will continue to be in demand well into the 2030s MAN said that its Nuremberg site produces battery packs in three different form factors The flat form factor is used in the MAN Lion’s City E while the other two form factors are used in the MAN eTGL which have total weights of 12 to 50 tonnes MAN plans to commence series production of the eTrucks eTGS and eTGX in Munich the Nuremberg facility is equipped to produce 50,000 battery packs annually the new M50 building will have the capacity to produce 100,000 units annually with production planned to be adjusted based on the demand for battery-electric vehicles with approximately 400 test parameters being recorded and documented individually for each battery to ensure the production process to be traced even after 15 years Last year, MAN partnered

exporters as well as selections like lamb I was aching to try some of the rarer offerings when I went to the Eku Inn for a couple of dinners in early March less than a mile south of the Imperial Castle The Jakobsmarkt parking garage is just 600 feet away I was seated at a bar straight from the 1970s though the dining area had a more modern feel The Eku Inn stakes its reputation on quality sourcing The ownership says the bison is free-range from pastures in Alberta The ox from Ireland is ethically sourced from grasslands and pastures and the black Aberdeen Angus from Argentina comes from either the pampas grasslands or the country’s remote midwest I ordered a hefeweizen beer and asked if I could try a bison filet They had sold out prior to my arrival; we were off to a bad start The waitress informed me they had only one left though the bone accounted for 20% of that weight a sublime crispy char on top and tiny slivers of fat on the margins It was accompanied by a heap of herb butter on the side It was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had A side of corn on the cob with celery salt was average tasting somewhere between fresh and frozen I ordered 200 grams (7 ounces) of black Argentine Aberdeen Angus filet mignon The flavor of some accompanying garlic bread was right combination plates and toppings like the Rustica a beef filet skewer topped with fried onions The salads and sides ranging from escargot to shrimp cocktail I’d recommend Eku Inn to any weary traveler looking for an alternative in the land of brats Application Areas Coatings Technologies

officially launched its battery production at the Nuremberg production site today in the presence of Bavarian Minister President Dr Markus Söder and State Minister Hubert Aiwanger 50,000 battery packs can be produced per year in Nuremberg the new M50 building is designed to be able to produce […] MAN announced that further 150 million euros will be invested in the coming years in order to widen the scope of the facility and allow the production of modules for the next battery generation (as of today just packs around 18 million euros will be subsidised by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) and the Free State of Bavaria Such investments follows the 100 million already invested in the production facility that has now been launched MAN highlights that the State of Bavaria is funding the further development of and research into battery technology at the MAN site in Nuremberg with around 30 million euros These funds will be used for research in areas such as battery assembly cell chemistry and ageing as well as battery safety MAN currently assumes that almost half of the trucks in Europe and around 90 per cent of city buses will be delivered with zero-emission drive systems by 2030 the investments in Nuremberg will secure around 400 jobs in a technology of the future and further advance the transformation of the site as “The employees working in battery production were previously employed in the areas of engine assembly foundry or logistics and were able to open up a new future-proof field of work for themselves thanks to retraining” The start of battery production is already the second new production line to be opened in Nuremberg this year MAN has also started the production of the latest generation diesel engines which are used in the new D30 PowerLion driveline investing around 250 million euros in this project MAN uses NMC cell chemistry (‘nickel-manganese-cobalt’) in its batteries which has been specially adapted to the operation of commercial vehicles Modular production is a technological highlight in the large-scale production of battery packs that is now starting “MAN works with a system without a conveyor belt and cycle that can handle different product variants and can be easily adapted to new variants The decoupled stations can be operated and converted independently of each other and the battery packs flow through the production system depending on individual requirements and condition This is made possible by a high degree of digitalisation and automation in the production flow and material provision which is fully automated with intelligently networked automated guided vehicles (AGVs) This ensures the necessary flexibility and versatility as well as the economical production of different battery packs” Each battery is subjected to 23 test programmes and around 400 test parameters are recorded This is documented individually for each battery This means that the production process can still be traced even after 15 years We are very proud of what we have created here in Nuremberg and what will continue to be created Today we announced another milestone in the transformation towards climate-friendly drives: MAN will invest a further 150 million euros in the expansion of battery production for future battery generations in Nuremberg This brings the total investment in Nuremberg to half a billion euros This is a clear commitment to Bavaria and Germany as a centre of innovation” says MAN CEO Alexander Vlaskamp Minister President Markus Söder emphasized that “Electromobility made in Bavaria: this is a milestone for MAN and Bavaria as an industrial location With a state-of-the-art site policy and great cooperation between management MAN has successfully transformed itself from a former site for pure diesel engines into a state-of-the-art battery production site for electric trucks secures and creates jobs and international competitiveness Bavaria is and will remain an automotive state – also in the commercial vehicle sector Following initial funding of 30 million euros in 2022 for research and development the Free State is supporting the future production of battery modules with almost six million euros.”   © Copyright 2012 - 2025 | Vado e Torno Edizioni | All rights reserved | P.I I often find myself torn between the comfort of a cozy night at home and the joy of spending time out with friends An evening at a movie theater strikes a balance between the two But living in a foreign country means adding the challenge of finding theaters that screen English-language movies without German dubbing Cinecitta Multiplexkino in Nuremberg offers films that cater to both German- and English-speaking audiences along with restaurants and amenities that encourage spending a little extra time there before or after the show The theater is nestled along the Pegnitz River and close to all the sights and sounds of the city’s old town it’s a scenic 10-minute stroll from one of Europe’s most famous Christmas markets The tickets for “Gladiator II” were 11 euros which is very reasonable in comparison to what I’ve come to expect from American theaters lately But we arrived well in advance to check out what the complex has to offer beyond the movies The atmosphere outside the screenings is a social one cafe and bar wasn’t jumping on a Tuesday evening but I’m told it’s a busy hangout over the weekend The food options include the recently renovated Oriental If hummus and stuffed grape leaves appetizers and pad thai for dinner is your thing The Google returns are positive about the food “remarkable photos on the way to the toilet.” The second floor of the complex hosts an American-style diner where I indulged in one of the most classic fast-food meals from our culture while a friend accompanying me opted for a salad especially since we had both come straight from work without having the chance to grab dinner beforehand but there’s a lot to choose from if you do There’s also the “cappuccino bar” and a roof terrace open in the summer but I wouldn’t be worried about the quality — you’re in Bavaria allowing us to have the entire row to ourselves As for “Gladiator II,” I found it entertaining but they generally say Denzel Washington stole the show especially with the lineup of films debuting early next year I’ll sample more of what Cinecitta has to offer beyond the movies a German cloud and data center service provider has acquired a data center outside Nuremberg The company recently announced the acquisition of local ISP OnlineDienst Nordbayern (ODN) taking over a data center in Nuremberg-Fürth The 2,000 sqm (21,525 sq ft) partially free-cooled facility is located at

Party,” Jones fantasized “We regain America's soul at the same time.” The Pizzagate-pushing host said the Trump administration would have total power to run such a putsch against the opposition “Trump will have control of the Justice Department And then these criminals that have been hijacking the government that committed these crimes just like the Nazis they have to learn they're not above the law referring to the trials against Nazi officials who perpetrated the Holocaust Because you've committed mass crimes,” he said failing to spell out the crimes themselves.  Jones, a long-time ally of

could not convert their chances into goals Saturday night and missed their chance to climb in the standings Julian Krahl was back between the posts for 1 FCK coach Markus Anfang made additional lineup changes Filip Kaloc and Daniel Hanslik against FCN coached by former Red Devil star Miroslav Klose Nuremberg struck first when in the 14th minute Fabio Gruber put a header past Krahl into the net Kaiserslautern did not have a good scoring chance until shortly before halftime when FCN keeper Jan Reichert made a save on a Marlon Ritter free kick Ritter could have evened the score with possibilities in the 50th but either narrowly missed the target or Reichert made the saves He also stopped a distance shot by Ragnar Ache in the 52nd minute it was Nuremburg’s Mahir Emreli who scored the 2-0 in the 68th minute curving a shot from about 16 yards out past Krahl and into the right upper corner of the goal Reichert stopped another Ritter scoring opportunity in the 70th minute but the FCK captain finally scored on a penalty two minutes later after a hand ball by a Nuremberg player in the box Ritter and Faride Alidou had opportunities to tie the game but his volley shot in stoppage time narrowly sailed over the crossbar The loss dropped the Red Devils to fifth place in the second division standings because all the teams ahead of them either lost or tied their games A win would have put the team back in third place The big winner so far this weekend is Elversberg which climbed into third after beating Hannover A win by Paderborn Sunday afternoon would move them into third and a playoff against the 16th-place Bundesliga team remains tight with only four points separating Elversberg from nineth place Hannover Up next for the Red Devils is a trip to Braunschweig on

The Nuremberg International Toy Fair has announced the 18 nominees that are in the running for its 2025 ToyAwards.  More than 280 exhibitors at the annual toy trade show submitted 629 new products for consideration in six categories (Baby & Infant, Preschool, School Kids, Teenager & Adult, Startup and Sustainability). Judges then evaluated the toys based on their originality, play value, potential for success at retail, workmanship, product concept and security to determine three top entries in each set.  Mattel is shortlisted in the Baby & Infant category with its Fisher-Price Snuggly Capybara, which helps wee ones develop motor skills with its built-in teething ring, rattles and colored loops. Also in contention are GEOMAGWORLD’s Stacking Safari Magicube Blocks and OPPI’s Flex line of stackable balls, cylinders and cones.  The LEGO Group could score a Teenager & Adult win with its 749-piece Beautiful Pink Bouquet set. But it will have to beat Abfun’s 50-piece Moon Acrylic Jigsaw Puzzle and Click Europe’s Spin Ball Spinner fidget toy.  Meanwhile, Germany’s own Horst Brandstätter Group has planted its flag in the Sustainability category with the Playmobil Junior & Disney: Cinderella’s Castle (pictured). This 25-piece playset made from 90% plant-based plastic is up against Plan Creations’ Wave Stacker and Globber’s eco-friendly Go Up Deluxe Lights 360 scooter. All ToyAwards nominees (see the complete list below) are on display this week in Nuremberg Toy Fair’s Hall 3A, and the winners will be announced on January 29 at a companion event called the Toy Business Forum.  This is just some random content to show the different layouts possible Meister Franz Schmidt beheaded, hanged, burned or drowned 361 people deemed criminals while he held the role of municipal executioner in Nuremberg between 1577 and 1617. Schmidt used torture to extract confessions and maimed lesser offenders with corporal punishment an additional 345 times. His position was thought to be fairly prestigious, though still viewed with derision.  Schmidt documented his gory tenure in the book “A Hangman’s Diary,” which provided insight into crime and punishment in the Middle Ages and beyond. Present-day Nuremberg also has a more immersive legacy of Schmidt and his fellow executioners: a residence built for them on the Pegnitz River in 1320. The Henkerhaus, or hangman’s house, offers visitors glimpses into one of medieval and Renaissance Europe’s darkest professions. It was home to the municipal executioner until 1806. The information and imagery at the house, including some lifted from official documents and Schmidt’s journal, are spellbinding. There are no axes or tools on display, which made the visit seem more academic than shocking. The office of executioner developed as the ruling class consolidated power, according to literature at the Henkerhaus. Ancient Roman law influenced the decision to separate sentencing from punishment. The imperial city of Nuremberg may have had an executioner as far back as 1378, records indicate. Cells and a torture chamber underneath City Hall were where executioners would extract confessions, a requirement for conviction at the time. Sentences of imprisonment were rare. Punishments ranged from public humiliation to death. Corporal punishment included branding and mutilation. “The resulting physical handicap meant a lifelong loss of honor and esteem,” the exhibit said. Murder, rape, robbery, theft and even blasphemy were often punishable by death. Decapitation was considered the most humane capital punishment, while death on the breaking wheel and being burned alive were far worse. Hanging was the second-most-used form of public execution. Women were usually drowned, until that practice was abandoned in favor of beheading. The standout of the experience for me, besides the callous indifference to the loss of life, was seeing the bay window where the executioner’s toilet had been, above the swiftly flowing Pegnitz. In Schmidt’s time, the bottom half was left open, allowing excrement to fall into the river. Apparently, merchants weren’t the only ones doing business on the Pegnitz. It’s unknown where he cooked and slept, so those mundane aspects of his life are left to the visitor’s imagination. After being damaged during World War II, the Henkerhaus was restored in 1954. It has been a museum since 2007.

That’s shorthand for the view that public health officials doctors and should be put on trial for presiding over “medical experimentation” with an “unproven” vaccine “That’s probably something that’s outside of my scope … in terms of jurisdiction of B.C.,” replied Rustad we would certainly be participating with other jurisdictions as we look at those sorts of issues.” Rustad made the comment to the groups back in June When it was reported Sunday by the Press Progress online news service “I want to clarify my position on a critical issue,” wrote Rustad “I misunderstood the question posed to me and wish to be unequivocal in my response.” Hard to believe that a 20-year-veteran of the political arena would have misunderstood the implications of the question The transcript of the June 18 meeting indicates that the Conservative leader asked for and got a clarification that the reference was to “Nuremberg 2.0,” a widely circulated term among anti-vaxxers Rustad said Sunday what he should have said months ago when first confronted with the Nuremberg reference “Any attempt to compare or equate the Nuremberg trials or Nazi Germany to the COVID-19 pandemic is completely inappropriate and unacceptable,” his posting continued which sought accountability for the atrocities of the Holocaust to any modern-day public health measures is a distortion of history and deeply disrespectful to the memory of those who suffered “I strongly condemn any such comparisons and reaffirm my commitment to preserving the integrity of historical truths.” Rustad added an apology when asked Monday about the Nuremberg analogy So what was his intention with his initial response to the comparison between management of the pandemic and the Nazi war crimes trials The sort-of apology and clarification marked Rustad’s second retreat from comments he made during the forum Earlier he clarified his reference to having regrets about getting three shots of the “so-called” COVID-19 vaccine He explained that his concern arose from a heart problem he developed after one of the COVID-19 mRNA shots But he maintained that he supports vaccinating children for measles and he intends to get the flu shot this year Rustad has not been drawn into correcting or commenting on the dubious statements of Conservatives candidates on social media In choosing to clarify what he meant regarding Nuremberg 2.0 and on vaccines Rustad recognized that those comments threatened his own credibility as leader and would-be premier he followed his practice of challenging the New Democrats with major policy statements He called for the provincial and federal governments to take “strong action” against those celebrating the first anniversary of the Oct “Any person who glorifies terrorism on our streets must face legal consequences,” said Rustad in an early morning news release there must be no hesitation in revoking their visas and deporting them British Columbians and all Canadians deserve to live in peace free from the threat of terrorism and hatred.” Rustad held a news conference to release of his public safety plan were promises to end drug decriminalization toughen charge assessments for repeat offenders and create a standalone court to expedite trials for minor criminal offences Rustad would also hire more judges and sheriffs and lobby the federal government to impose mandatory minimum sentences for violent crimes “David Eby’s policies have emboldened criminals and shattered public trust in the justice system,” said Rustad who again referred to Eby’s earlier authorship of a guidebook on how to sue the police The Conservatives are hoping reports like that will make their case that the NDP has failed to deliver public safety The New Democrats are hoping that Rustad’s comments will reinforce their case that he’s not fit for the premier’s office Some voters are probably concerned about both messages Hence the opinion polls which show the two main parties in a dead heat Unless Tuesday’s leadership debate tips the balance in favour of one leader or the other the stand-off could continue right up to the voting booths on election day vpalmer@postmedia.com transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

expansion phase with goal of reachinbg up to 100,000 units The investment volume for the new building battery packs for MAN’s all-electric vehicles are already being produced in small series at the Nuremberg site the small series production area will be gradually converted to the development of the next battery generation and the reconditioning of batteries MAN says “the delivered modules will be inserted into battery layers in large series production These layers will be stacked on top of each other to form the battery pack and then put through their paces” The installation of the first production systems has already begun up to 50,000 batteries per year will be built in an initial expansion phase this capacity is to be expanded to up to 100,000 high-voltage batteries by 2030 The Free State of Bavaria is also funding further development and research into battery technology with around 30 million euros this has enabled the integration of innovative laser welding cells efficient and gentle production technology in battery module construction robot-guided optics and ultra-fine sensors individual battery cells are electrically connected to each other with the highest precision and quality Together with the Technical University (TU) of Munich MAN is researching the further development of this technology which will be used in a future generation of batteries Guests at today’s topping-out ceremony included the Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder MAN Truck & Bus CEO Alexander Vlaskamp and the Chairman of the Works Council at MAN’s Nuremberg site Markus Wansch Head of the MAN site in Nuremberg: “The entry into electromobility is a decisive step into the future for our site We have decades of expertise in the development and production of engines and are now also ideally placed to establish ourselves as a centre of excellence for alternative drive technologies.’ Sign In Subscribe Now 7) tried to further distance himself from an interview where he was asked if he supported Nuremberg-style trials against public officials supporting COVID-19 vaccines and mandates.  relating the two (Nazis tried for war-crimes and COVID-19 measures)  "I know that has offended some people and it certainly was not my intent with regards to that issue."  Rustad made that statement after saying Sunday night that he had "misunderstood" a question about whether he would support B.C which COVID-19 conspiracy theorists have dubbed 'Nuremberg 2.0' in reference to the trials against surviving Nazi leaders following the Second World War "Any attempt to compare or equate the Nuremberg Trials or Nazi Germany to the COVID-19 pandemic is completely inappropriate and unacceptable," Rustad said on social media Sunday night after Press Progress had first reported on his response to a question from Jedediah Ferguson president of the United Health Care Workers of B.C.  Ferguson had asked Rustad where he stood on the idea that COVID-19 vaccines and mandates amounted to Nazi-like atrocities including medical experiments requiring legal persecution.  Ferguson first asked Rustad whether he would be "OK" for a Nuremberg 2.0 Ferguson then repeated the word “Nuremberg” more slowly adding that is "probably something" outside his scope Ferguson said his question was a "hard one," adding that he was putting Rustad on the "hot spot." it’s fine,” Rustad said. “Like I say that’s something that’s sorta outside the scope in terms of jurisdiction of British Columbia but if The initial story did not include any comments from the party with Press Progress saying it waited several hours for a response before publishing its story Sunday afternoon Rustad then posted his statement on social media later Sunday evening following publication.  to any modern-day public health measures is a distortion of history and deeply disrespectful to the memory of those who suffered," Rustad said "I strongly condemn any such comparisons and reaffirm my commitment to preserving the integrity of historical truths." to have John Rustad on Twitter talking about a comparison between between the Holocaust...and the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses of health professionals to be entertaining suggestions that we put public health officials doctors and nurses who ran vaccine programs who responded in the depth of the pandemic on trial bizarre and it is really regrettable," Eby said.  Rustad was later asked whether he still thinks B.C needs to participate with other jurisdictions in reviewing issues around COVID-19 He responded by first saying that Eby is trying to distract from issues He then pointed to his party's health care platform in appearing to leave the door open for such a review "So when we go forward and we look at things "But our focus is going to be on making sure that patients are receiving the services they need and that they can have confidence in our health care system."  United and publicly available highlights comments from Conservative candidates drawing comparisons between the Holocaust and COVID-19 measures.  "What does this remind of?" Kelowna-Centre candidate Kristina Loewen wrote on social media in 2020 when commenting on a story detailing measures to restrict the spread of COVID-19 at Boston University through digital badges the relationship to genocide is simply the outward physical labelling due to things one cannot control it started with relocation and isolation didn't it I will have to brush up on my history."  Kelowna-area media had reached out Loewen in late September about those comments but she did not return comment at the time.  Black Press Media has reached out to Loewen for comment and will update this story accordingly.  Dialogue and debate are integral to a free society and we welcome and encourage you to share your views on the issues of the day.
