Auschwitz prisoner and photographer dies at 95

WARSAW, Poland (AP) ? The images are haunting: naked and emaciated children at Auschwitz standing shoulder-to-shoulder, adult prisoners in striped garb posing for police-style mug shots.

One of several photographers to capture such images, Wilhelm Brasse, has died at the age of 95. A Polish photographer who was arrested and sent to Auschwitz early in World War II, he was put to work documenting his fellow prisoners, an emotionally devastating task that tormented him long after his liberation.

Jaroslaw Mensfelt, a spokesman at the Auschwitz-Birkenau state museum, said that Brasse died on Tuesday in Zywiec, a town in southern Poland.

Brasse, who was born in 1917 and was not Jewish, was sent to Auschwitz at 22 as a political prisoner for trying to sneak out of German-occupied Poland in the spring of 1940. Because he had worked before the war in a photography studio in Katowice, in southern Poland, he was put to work in the camp's photography and identification department.

The job helped to save his life, enabling him to get better treatment and food than many others. Because he worked with the SS, the elite Nazi force, he was also kept cleaner "so as not to offend the SS men," he recalled in an Associated Press interview in 2006.

After the war, he had nightmares for years of the Nazi victims he was forced to photograph. Among them were emaciated Jewish girls who were about to undergo cruel medical experiments under the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele.

"I didn't return to my profession, because those Jewish kids, and the naked Jewish girls, constantly flashed before my eyes," he said. "Even more so because I knew that later, after taking their pictures, they would just go to the gas."

In the AP interview, Brasse said believed he took about 40,000 to 50,000 of the identity photographs that the Nazis used to register their prisoners ? part of the Nazi obsession with documenting their work. These pictures are among some of the notorious images associated with the camp.

Brasse was not alone in documenting prisoners. Mensfelt said there were other photographers as well and that an estimated 200,000 such pictures were probably taken. Most were destroyed.

Now it's difficult to say which of the surviving photos were Brasses's because they generally did not carry the photographer's name. Some he remembered and was able to identify later.

At the war's end, with the Soviet army about to liberate Auschwitz, the Germans ordered the photos destroyed. Brasse and others refused the order and managed to save about 40,000 of them.

Though Brasse early on in his captivity was the only professional photographer in the SS documentation office, eventually some other prisoners took over taking ID photos. Brasse was given new assignments, including taking the pictures of prisoner tattoos and pictures for Mengele.

Mengele ordered pictures of various prisoners he planned to perform his experiments on, including Jewish twins, dwarfs, stunted people and people with noma, a disease common in the malnourished that can result in the loss of flesh.

"I had to take close-ups. He said sometimes you will be able to see the whole bone of the jaw, and that I have to do close-ups of it. I did the close-ups, in harsh light, and you could see to the bone," Brasse said. "Later, my boss called me in, and Dr. Mengele expressed his happiness with the pictures I'd taken, that I'd taken them just as he had needed them to be done."

Brasse said he never had the right to refuse what Mengele or the other Germans demanded.

"It was an order, and prisoners didn't have the right to disagree. I couldn't say 'I won't do that,'" he recalled in 2006. "I only listened to what I had to do and because I didn't harm anyone by what I was doing, I tried to address them politely."

Keymonk is a Super Fast and Accurate Android Keyboard, Is Like Swype with Two Fingers

Keymonk is a Super Fast and Accurate Android Keyboard, Is Like Swype with Two FingersKeymonk is a Super Fast and Accurate Android Keyboard, Is Like Swype with Two Fingers Android: Keymonk is a new Android keyboard replacement that takes the idea of swiping your fingers across letters to input text up a notch. Turn your phone sideways and use both thumbs to input text, or put it in portrait mode and use one?either way it's fast, accurate, and best of all, free.

We love Swype, the Android keyboard that pioneered the idea of drawing your words instead of tapping them, and even though it recently updated, it's not for everyone. If your don't like the idea of drawing your words, Keymonk won't appeal to you, but if you miss being able to use your thumbs, Keymonk combines the best of both worlds: fast landscape input with your thumbs, and fast portrait input with one or two fingers.

You can see how the app works in the video above. The developers say that the app was designed for speed, and it showed when we tested the app. Overall, it felt faster at recognizing the words I typed, even if some of them were wrong, and even though using my thumbs in landscape mode felt awkward at first, eventually I stopped whacking my thumbs into one another. Still, it took some getting used to.

Keymonk is free and available now at Google Play. There is a $4 "full version" available that allows you to add custom words to the dictionary, hide the suggestions list if you're just that accurate, unlocks the settings screen, and lets you auto-add spaces after punctuation marks so you don't have to. Grab the free version if you're interested in giving it a shot.

Daily multivitamin can reduce cancer risk for older men

multivitaminA study has found that multivitamins may reduce the risk of cancer for men over 50. (Fotolia)

Report an error

Daily use of a common multivitamin modestly reduces the risk for cancer for men aged 50 and over, according to a study published online last week by the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The research project

  • 14,641 men
  • 7,317 were given daily multivitamins
  • 7,324 were given a placebo
  • Participants were followed for an average of a little more than 11 years.

The results

  • Those taking the multivitamin had an 8% reduction in risk of developing cancer.
  • 2,669 cases of cancer were diagnosed among the participants, including 1,290 of the 7,317 men who took the multivitamin and 1,379 of 7,324 assigned to placebo.
  • The protective effect of multivitamins was stronger in men aged 70 or older, with no parental history of cancer, and in men with a history of cancer.
  • Multivitamin use was associated with a 27% lower cancer risk in men with a history of cancer prior to the study.

Now what?

Studies are still inconclusive as to what this means for women and men under the age of 50.

Before deciding that you are going to start taking any daily vitamins, take a look at your diet. If you?ve already got a good balanced diet, chances are you may not need any vitamins at all.

Summit Court House Party Investigation Ongoing - Westfield, NJ Patch

The Westfield Police Department continues to investigate what has been reported as a case of criminal mischief stemming from a house party that took place?on Saturday, Sept. 22 on Summit Court.?

Westfield Police Capt. Scott Rodger said police were in the area of the under-100 block of Summit Court on another matter when they became aware of the situation.

When asked to confirm reports that most attendees were Westfield High School students who, through social media, learned about the party, which took place while parents were not at home, Rodger said he could not confirm those details, but said police found "numerous beer cans and debris around the patio of the home."

He added that the homeowners reported roughly 150 uninvited guests turned up at their residence and have filed a report citing "extensive damage to the home," including "two broken screens, a broken bathroom window, a broken shower diverter, a broken firepit, a broken wine rack and a broken scale." Rodger said the residents are still compiling the list of items that have been damaged. No arrests have been made at this time, he said, nor have any juveniles been taken into custody.

When asked to comment on the investigation and suggestions that student athletes may have been involved, Westfield school superintendent Dr. Margaret Dolan said,?"We always work cooperatively with the Westfield Police Department. We were told that the police were called to investigate a party that took place on a weekend. Our understanding is that this matter is still under police investigation."

According to WHS's discipline policy, any athlete using alcohol, tobacco, smokeless tobacco, or illegal substances such as drugs or steroids will be subject to the following disciplinary action(s):

First Offense:?Suspension from all athletic participation?for fourteen (14) calendar days from day?of suspension. This includes practices?and contests.

All Subsequent Offenses:?Suspension from all athletic?participation for sixty (60) calendar days excluding?days from June 15th through August 15th.

The above regulations will be placed on the eligibility form requiring parent and/or guardian signatures. Notification of suspension by the coach will go in writing to the athletic director, head coach, athletic trainer, Guidance Department, Health Services Department, and parents.?A record of all suspensions will be kept in the athletic director?s office.

"I can assure you that we work with students on drug and alcohol abuse from an early age and monitor their behavior in school and at school sponsored events," Dolan continued. "We hold sessions for students and parents on the dangers of substance abuse, and we hold our students responsible by requiring them to sign a Code of Conduct. Westfield High School?s administration, the WHS student group called The Dream Team, the WHS PTSO, and Municipal Alliance are working together again to plan an event in February to coordinate all our efforts to prevent substance abuse and to encourage the community to support these efforts."?

Westfield police ask that anyone with additional information contact Detective Gregory Hobson at 908-789-6085.

New Mexico paraplegic man abandoned, drags self to safety

SHIPROCK - Looking into the eyes of Ricky Gilmore, one can tell he has taken many roads - but none like the one he dragged himself down last week. Gilmore, a 49-year-old paraplegic from Newcomb, was left without his wheelchair on a desolate dirt road after he hitchhiked with a woman and man near Shiprock on Oct. 16.

For two nights and three days, Gilmore scooted against the dirt and rocks of the road not knowing if he would be found. During the darkness of the night, he would ball up to keep warm.

He had many enemies - he did not have the use of his legs, he had no water or food and it was dreadfully cold. He said he pulled himself about four miles and wondered about the wild animals he would not be able to fight off.

"It was torture," said Gilmore at the Northern Navajo Medical Center on Tuesday.

Gilmore winced while recalling the ordeal, which began as a quick trip from Newcomb to Shiprock to buy liquor.

The trip became somewhat of a "joy ride," he said. The woman and man he hitched a ride with picked up another man, then took Gilmore home, dropped off his wheelchair, then dropped off one man elsewhere followed by a cruise on the Devil's Highway, U.S. Highway 491.

That's where hell broke loose, and the woman and the passenger decided Gilmore had to go.

"I didn't think anything like this would happen," Gilmore said.

He recalled the man yanking him out of the truck by his ankles.

"I was just trying to plead with him not to pull

me out but he had those wild, devilish eyes," he said. "I did not want to fight back...if i did fight back all hell would come loose...I know gangsters like that, they just that start clubbing away."

At the hospital, he leaned to his side to show large cuts that he got from pulling himself on the ground. The cuts went across his buttocks and legs. They were covered by wide swaths of bandage and oozed.

The wounds were worse when he was found by Wilfred Sisco on Thursday on the dirt at the side of Tocito Road, about 30 miles south of Shiprock.

Gilmore waved desperately when Sisco found him. His thighs were bleeding, his body shivering, and his right wrist sprained.

Sisco called an ambulance, which then took him to the hospital where he received treatment for a blood infection and acute kidney failure - the result of the excessive energy he put into moving his upper half, hospital officials said.

He also had a body temperature of 94 when he first received treatment - normal is 98.6. His wrist and shoulders were sore after his misery.

On his hospital bed, Gilmore showed his ragged pair of jeans, sadly looking through the holes created while he scooted himself over rocks and dirt. The jeans, threadbare, still were the color of the dirt and blood that soaked into them for three days.

Then, his button-up shirt, also worn through because of the rubbing on the road.

At night, the few items he had did little to keep him warm, he said.

"I didn't have a jacket. All I had was my shirt. I just curled up," Gilmore said, who does not think he would have lasted a third night. "I mean, it was cold."

The recorded lows for both nights were around 40 in Farmington, though it can sometimes be slightly colder or warmer in the desert, according to the National Weather Service in Albuquerque.

The absolute worst part of it, though, Gilmore said, was not the actual survival but the thought that someone would do that to him in the first place.

"I mean, I'm in a wheelchair. They should have that respect for people who have a disability. I was just being nice," he said. "The disrespect, you know, for people with disabilities. I didn't do nothing to them."

During the first two days he was stranded, three vehicles, including one from the Native American Church, passed by Gilmore while he waved at them.

"They just don't have a heart," said Gilmore.

Gilmore said he has been hitchhiking for 19 years, since he lost the use of his legs in a car crash on his 30th birthday.

Once he makes it home from the hospital, he intends to stop hitchhiking for a while, he said.

The Shiprock Police Department is working on a pending police report filed by Gilmore on Thursday.

Gilmore described the pair who abandoned him as Native American. The man, who allegedly pulled Gilmore out of the vehicle, is in his mid-20s and has a cursive written tattoo on his neck.

The female is heavyset and in her mid-40s. Both suspects are believed to be from the Shiprock or Kirtland area. The pair was driving a white pickup. Gilmore said he feels lucky to have survived. "I just got on the devil's ride," Gilmore said.

"I just want to heal up and go home and change my life around and keep going," Gilmore said.
