27 October 1941 | After an escape of a prisoner from Block 18a in Auschwitz I (in the picture) SS men chose 10 prisoners, Poles, to be starved in Block 11 cells.
These were:
Henryk Kozłecki (11278)
Jan Skierniewski (21157)
Władysław Maciąg (20908)
Józef Tomczak (21373)
Stanisław Kocek (21173)
Stefan Kiśniewicz (16189)
Zdzisław Witamborski (13882)
Franciszek Roller (21086)
Paweł Olszówka (21062)
Wacław Kieszkowski (14634)
Six of them died of starvation between 31 October and 10 November. Prisoners: Skierniewski, Tomczak, and Roller were shot on November 11 at the 'Wall of Death'.
Henryk Kozłecki (in the picture) was released from the bunker to the camp on 29 October. This is the only known case of the prisoner being released from the starvation bunker. He was executed by shooting on 14 June 1942.

For the 612th consecutive day, Georgians are out on the street in 8+ cities, protesting against a pro-Russian, illegitimate regime.

#TerrorinGeorgia 10+ activists in just one hour. This rapid wave of arrests in Tbilisi is the hallmark of a panic-stricken police state.
Around 10 people were arrested in Tbilisi today for holding banners.

He's so right. We don't talk about diversity of thought enough.
Lenny Henry criticises diversity being seen as 'wokery.'
The legendary comedian and actor is asked on Mornings with Ridge and Frost about his stance on the discourse around diversity and inclusion in the media.

The accountability gap down the middle of the Atlantic is widening so fast: Could a UK Prime Minister go off back of Epstein but not a single man in America lose his job or go to prison for what THEY did?

On this day in 1918, Tbilisi State University was founded - a beacon of Georgian education and free thought.
Today, after 108 years, the ruling Georgian Dream party ended its independence, politicizing the university and threatening academic freedom.

Swansea City 2 West Bromwich Albion 2 (6-5 on penalties). Very unusually, I watched the game from the first row rather than the back of the stand. The perceived faster pace and congested space add to the excitement. I have no idea how managers follow the game from the touchline.
As the credits rolled, nobody in the cinema moved. That was the emotional punch of #Hamnet - an extraordinary film with an astonishing performance from Jesse Buckley. If I woz more cleverer I'd have understood a lot more than I did.
Terry Yorath was one of my early heroes when he played in the great Leeds side and for Wales. I loved the fact that he wasn't one of the glamour stars and had to fight hard for his place at Leeds. He then had to deal with terrible tragedy. So sad. RIP.
After nearly 40 years living here it was time to see a film at the oldest film club in Wales, Abergavenny's no less.
#Santosh was both gripping and repulsive, telling the story of a corrupt and violent police force.
The film captured conflicts and tensions brilliantly.
