Uwe Boll's Auschwitz

Ginger concentration camp

Essential watching: this is actually the video for M.I.A.'s new song Born Free, directed by Romain Gavras, but it is done more like a 10-minute short movie in which the song functions as background track. In this clip, gingers (red-haired people) are collected by a brutal Gestapo-like police force, brought to a concentration camp, and later murdered.

Auschwitz sign stolen

This has caused major outrage: the "Arbeit macht frei" sign ("work sets you free") on the entrance of Auschwitz concentration camp museum, one of the most well-known symbols of Nazi atrocities in WWII, has been stolen by what looks like a professional crew.

Johannes Heesters in Dachau 1941

This is making the rounds a bit in Germany currently: Dutch singer Johannes Heesters, now aged 105, has taken Berlin author Volker Kühn to court. Mr Kühn is claiming that Heesters performed for the SS at Dachau concentration camp in 1941. Heesters admits that he did visit the concentration camp (as is documented in photographs), but claims that they were shown only unsuspicious and well-fed prisoners, and that he did not perform at the camp.
