Auschwitz Concentration Camp opened in former Polish army barracks in June 1940. Twenty brick buildings were adapted, of which 6 were two-storeys and 14 were single-story. At the end of 1940, prisoners began adding second stories to the single-storey blocks. The following spring, they started erecting 8 new blocks. This work reached completion in the first half of 1942. The result was a complex of 28 two-storeys blocks, the overwhelming majority of which were used to house prisoners. As a rule, there were two large rooms upstairs and a number of smaller rooms downstairs. The blocks were designed to hold about 700 prisoners each after the second stories were added, but in practice they housed up to 1,200.

In the first months, the prisoners drew water from two wells and relieved themselves in a provisional outdoor latrine. After the rebuilding of the camp, each building had lavatories, usually on the ground floor, containing 22 toilets, urinals, and washbasins with trough-type drains and 42 spigots installed above them. The fact that prisoners from the upstairs and downstairs had to use a single lavatory meant that access was strictly limited.

Two types of barracks, brick and wooden, housed prisoners in the second part of the camp, Birkenau. The brick barracks stood in the oldest part of the camp, known as sector BI, where construction began in the fall of 1941. Inside each of them were 60 brick partitions with three tiers, making a total of 180 sleeping places, referred to as “buks,” designed to accommodate 4 prisoners. The SS therefore envisioned a capacity of over 700 prisoners per block. At first, the buildings had earthen floors. Over time, these were covered with a layer of bricks lying flat, or with a thin layer of poured concrete. The barracks were unheated in the winter. Two iron stoves were indeed installed, but these were insufficient to heat the entire space. Nor were there any sanitary facilities in the barracks. Only in 1944 were sinks and toilets installed in a small area inside each block. Nor was there any electric lighting at the beginning.

Wooden stable-type barracks were installed in segment BI, and above all in segments BII and BIII. These barracks had no windows. Instead, there was a row of skylights on either side at the top. A chimney duct, which heated the interior in the winter, ran almost the entire length of the barracks. The interior was divided into 18 stalls, intended originally for 52 horses. The two stalls nearest the door were reserved for prisoner functionaries, and containers for excrement stood in the two stalls at the far end. Three-tier wooden beds or three-tier wooden bunks intended for 15 prisoners to sleep in were installed in the other stalls, for a total capacity of more than 400 prisoners per barracks.

During the first year or so, water in sector BI was available only in the kitchen barracks, and prisoners had no access to it. Unable to wash, they went around dirty. They had to perform their bodily functions in unscreened outside privies. The barracks were frequently damp, and lice and rats were an enormous problem for the prisoners. It is therefore hardly strange that epidemics of contagious diseases erupted frequently. Sanitary conditions improved to a certain degree in 1943, when each part of the camp was outfitted with a bathhouse and equipment for disinfecting clothing and linen. Nevertheless, the capacity of these facilities in proportion to the number of prisoners limited the possibilities for making use of them. In sector BI, for instance, there were 4 barracks with sinks for washing (90 spigots per barracks), 4 toilet barracks (a sewer with a concrete lid that had 58 toilet openings in it), and 2 barracks containing toilets and sinks—for a sector containing 62 barracks housing prisoners. The prisoners also had limited opportunities for bathing. Additionally, they had to undress in their own barracks before doing so and, regardless of the weather, walk naked to the bathhouse. For many prisoners, this led to sickness and death.

Who was Grand Duchess Anastasia? What was the rumour about her?
How was the mystery resolved?

Answers

Answer:

The 1956 movie Anastasia offered a more hopeful ending to the decades of mystery that followed the execution of Russia’s last tsar, Nicholas II, and his family in 1918. In the movie, his youngest daughter, Anastasia, is suffering from amnesia and goes by the name Anna. Ingrid Bergman played Anna, who, 10 years after the grand duchess’s presumed murder, is persuaded by the con man Sergei Bounine (Yul Brynner) to pose as the grand duchess to stake a claim to the Romanov fortune. As Anna manages to convince her most skeptical adversary, the dowager empress Marie Feodorovna, Anastasia’s grandmother (played by Helen Hayes), she ironically seems to remember her royal identity. But rather than take on her imperial role, Anna instead chooses to elope with Bounine. As satisfying as the movie ending is, the real Anastasia probably did not reunite with her grandmother years after the Russian Revolution and run off with a charming con man. In fact, she probably did not survive her family’s execution at all.

After Nicholas II abdicated the throne on March 15, 1917, he and his family—his wife, Alexandra; son, Alexis; and four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia—were taken captive and eventually moved to a house in the Ural Mountains. In the cellar they and four of their servants were executed by a Bolshevik firing squad on July 17, 1918. However, no bodies were immediately found. Moreover, reports from Russia were so unclear that the dowager empress, who had found refuge in Crimea, doubted the news of her family’s death. Even the executioners’ later accounts were so muddled as to invite speculation. Some claimed that the daughters survived the first round of firing, having been protected from the bullets by jewels secretly sewn into their corsets.

With such sensational accounts of the murders and the chaotic aftermath of the Revolution, anything seemed possible. Romanov imposters sprang up all over the world in the ensuing decades, offering fantastic tales of escape. The most famous claimant was Anna Anderson, whose case remained in the German courts for more than 30 years until a 1970 ruling declared no conclusive evidence proving Anderson was or was not Anastasia. Anderson’s enigmatic story inspired the French play on which the 1956 film and 1997 animated film of the same name were based.

The mystery took an intriguing turn in the late 1990s when scientists using DNA evidence identified bodies found in the 1970s as the tsar, his wife, and three of their daughters. The bodies of Alexis and of one of his sisters, however, were not among those found. Because the discovered remains had been burned, it was hard to say which Romanov daughter was absent, and the news revived speculation that Anastasia had survived. In 2007 the two missing bodies were found, and soon afterward they were identified as Alexis and probably Maria. Anastasia’s remains were likely one of the bodies that had been found earlier.

Ninety years later, all bodies accounted for, the mystery seemed over until the Russian Orthodox Church reopened the case in 2015, claiming that the scientific investigations had been mishandled. Perhaps the church, like movie fans, preferred to maintain the hope of a happier ending than the dark one that most historians now accept.

How did Islam change when Muhammad went to yathrib?

Answers

Answer:

Like Mecca, Yathrib was experiencing demographic problems: several tribal groups coexisted, descendants of its Arab Jewish founders as well as a number of pagan Arab immigrants divided into two tribes, the Aws and the Khazraj. Unable to resolve their conflicts, the Yathribis invited Muhammad to perform the well-established role of neutral outside arbiter (ḥakam). In September 622, having discreetly sent his followers ahead, he and one companion, Abū Bakr, completed the community’s second and final emigration, barely avoiding Quraysh attempts to prevent his departure by force. By the time of the emigration, a new label had begun to appear in Muhammad’s recitations to describe his followers: in addition to being described in terms of their faithfulness (īmān) to God and his messenger, they were also described in terms of their undivided attention—that is, as muslims, individuals who assumed the right relationship to God by surrendering (islām) to his will. Although the designation muslim, derived from islām, eventually became a proper name for a specific historical community, at this point it appears to have expressed commonality with other monotheists: like the others, muslims faced Jerusalem to pray; Muhammad was believed to have been transported from Jerusalem to the heavens to talk with God; and Abraham, Noah, Moses, David, and Jesus, as well as Muhammad, all were considered to be prophets (nabīs) and messengers of the same God. In Yathrib, however, conflicts between other monotheists and the muslims sharpened their distinctiveness.

The Dominican Republic, an island republic that had been under Spanish and French administration since the 16th century, proclaimed its independence from Haiti in 1844.

What was  Dominican Republic history ?

The Dominican Republic returned to Spanish sovereignty in 1861 before regaining independence in 1865. On November 6, 1844, the Dominican Republic's first constitution was ratified.

The Dominican Republic's history was first mentioned in writing in 1492, when the navigator Christopher Columbus, who was born in Genoa and was working for the Crown of Castile, stumbled across a sizable island in the area of the western Atlantic Ocean that would eventually become known as the Caribbean.

The Tano, an Arawakan tribe, called the eastern portion of the island Quisqueya (Kiskeya), which translates to "mother of all places." ColumbusAs soon as possible, the Spanish Crown acquired the island and gave it the name La Isla Espaola (Latinized as Hispaniola). Infectious diseases imported from Europe nearly killed out the Tanos.

Other factors included abuse, killing , family dissolution, famine, the feudal-like encomienda system in mediaeval Europe, battle with the Castilians, lifestyle changes, and mingling with other cultures. Laws created for the protection of the Indians, starting with the Burgos Laws of 1512–1513, were never really enforced.

Hence
