Multiple #NorthKoreans recently arrived in South #Korea via boat in what may be a rare defection via the inter-Korean maritime border.
But the unification ministry declined to provide further details and did not specify if the group intended to defect.

1944年5月16日,奥斯维辛集中营的罗姆人(注:也被称为吉普赛人)囚犯发动起义。
1942年12月16日,海因里希·希姆莱下令将所有罗姆人赶入集中营进行种族灭绝,在那之后,党卫队就在奥斯维辛二号营比克瑙内设立了B区IIe,被称为Zigeunerfamilienlager(吉普赛之家营区)。自那时起,已有大约2.3万罗姆人被驱逐至此,其中活下来还有6500人。
为了监督匈牙利犹太人驱逐和灭绝的霍斯行动,鲁道夫·霍斯于5月8日再次担任营区指挥官,他认为需要为这些犹太人腾出更多的营房。因此,在5月15日,霍斯下令杀死吉普赛之家营区内的所有囚犯。
吉普赛之家营区的指挥官兼审核官不同意党卫队和他们的做法,因此让波兰政治犯塔德乌什·亚希莫夫斯基去警告罗姆人囚犯,称在第二天宵禁时,党卫队将进入营区围捕他们实施处决。
今天,5月16日19时,宵禁的锣声响起,党卫队的人乘车进入了吉普赛之家营区。大约60名党卫队队员来到营房前,但屋内的罗姆人手持铲子、小刀和石头,拒绝踏出一步。党卫队队员颇感震惊和意外,随后退回了他们的车上。在与指挥官商量后,他们离开了营区。罗姆人设法保住了自己的性命,暂时免于一死。
只可惜,这样的光景并未持续多久。在整个6月和7月,罗姆人将被转移到偶数营区,为成千上万的匈牙利犹太人空出奇数营区。然后,在8月1日上午,党卫队把大约半数适合劳动的罗姆人转移到奥斯维辛一号、拉文斯布吕克和布痕瓦尔德集中营。
而在8月2日和3日,党卫队士兵将关闭吉普赛之家营区,用毒气室杀害剩下的2,897名罗姆人妇女、儿童、老人以及体弱者,并在5号火葬场焚烧他们的尸体。

A week after Donald Trump made matters worse in the classified documents case, one of his lawyers quit.
Replacing him probably won't be easy — because many attorneys see Trump as a terrible client.
As part of his crusade over government “weaponization,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) keeps pointing to FBI "whistleblowers."
And they keep proving to be an embarrassment to him and his hapless campaign.
G+ refugee and simply want my instance to work reliably.
