Federal judge in Tennessee axed Kilmar Garcia’s human-smuggling trial, ordering a hearing on selective, vindictive prosecution, evidence favoring Abrego. Epstein files cite a 2020 call where he lured, drugged, & sexually assaulted a teen in 1993 at his New Mexico ranch & others were restrained.

In 1944 the State Museum at Majdanek was created on the former grounds of the German concentration camp in Lublin. Today we also run two braches on the former death camps grounds: Museums and Memorials in Bełżec and Sobibór. We are the world's first Holocaust memorial. We are a Triad of Remembrance.
