Fose Carbo Sotelo, the leader of the monarchist movement in Spain, was assassinated by the Assault Guards on July 13th 1936. At dawn on July 14th, a detachment of the Assault Guards took the body to the morgue in the East Cemetery.

 　　Fosé Carbó Sotelo, the leader of the monarchist movement in Spain, was assassinated by the Assault Guards on July 13th 1936. Sotelo was assassinated in his home, and at dawn on July 14th, a detachment of the Assault Guards transported his body to the morgue at the Eastern Cemetery. Sotelo's body was examined at the morgue at the Cimetière de Reste. Following Sotelo's assassination, the Spanish government closed the headquarters of monarchists and Carlists, and also ordered the closure of the Maison des Anarchistes. On July 14th, at Sotelo's funeral in the Eastern Cemetery, Sotelo's body was buried by fascists.

　　Miguel Primo de Rivera became a military dictator in Spain in 1923 following a coup d'état. In 1925, he appointed Calvo Sotelo as Minister of Finance. When Rivera was removed from power, Calvo Sotelo went into exile in France from Portugal in 1931. Calvo Sotelo returned to Spain after being granted a pardon in 1934. He soon became one of the most important right-wing politicians in Spain. Influenced by the growth of fascism in Germany and Italy, Carbo Sotelo proposed a totalitarian answer to the problems facing Spain.

　　On July 12th 1936, José Castillo, a member of the Social Party and a member of the Assault Guard, was assassinated by the Falangist Legion in the capital city of Madrid. On July 13th, Castillo's Legion avenged his death by assassinating José Carbo Sotelo. As a result of the assassination, an army led by Emilio Mola, Francisco Franco and José Sanjúrjo staged a military uprising on July 17th, and the Spanish Civil War broke out. The rebellion by a part of the army began on July 17, 1936, with the African troops in Melilla. On July 18, 1936, General Francisco Franco was appointed supreme commander of the African troops.

During the Vietnam War, on February 24th 1966, the Viet Cong launched a surprise attack on the American 1st Cavalry Division's position near Tan Binh, and the bodies of the Viet Cong soldiers who were killed in the battle were dragged away by American armored personnel carriers, leaving them covered in mud.

　　On February 24th 1966, during the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong of the South Vietnamese Liberation Front launched a surprise attack on the American 1st Cavalry Division's position near Tan Binh. The bodies of the Viet Cong soldiers killed in the battle were dragged away by an American armored personnel carrier, leaving them covered in mud. These were the bodies of the remaining Viet Cong soldiers on the battlefield at Tan Binh, 56km northwest of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. The American soldiers boarded the armored personnel carrier without a care in the world, and carried out their mission while looking down on the bodies with a nonchalant air.As a “death covered in mud”, Koichi Sawada took a photo of a corpse being dragged behind an armored personnel carrier, and it won first place in the news photography category at the 10th World Press Photo Exhibition.

　　After the Battle of Suoi Bon Chan in Tan Binh, a Viet Cong soldier's corpse was dragged behind an American armored vehicle to the burial site. American and Australian forces fought against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army on the nights of February 23 and 24, 1966. The battle broke out in the vicinity of Tan Binh, which is located 30km northwest of Bien Hoa Air Base. It occurred during Operation Rolling Stone, a large-scale American military security operation to protect engineers building a strategic road. On the morning of February 24, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army suffered heavy casualties, with around 500 people killed. The American military suffered 11 casualties, and the Australian military suffered 74 casualties.

　　In 1966, as the Vietnam War intensified, the Allied forces continued to fight the Vietcong in an attempt to secure a foothold in South Vietnam. The Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces were driven back by the Australian and American forces. The bodies of dead Vietcong soldiers were tied to the back of American armored personnel carriers and dragged behind the tanks, perhaps out of spite or to show off their victory. The Vietnam War was the only war in which a third party, not a party to the war, was able to report the facts of the war. President John F. Kennedy made the purpose and intentions of the war known to the world. 

Florence Farmborough, a military nurse in the Russian army, documented her experiences with the Russian Red Cross in Galicia, a border region between Ukraine and Poland, through photographs. She photographed the tragic consequences of war, including corpses lying on the battlefield.

　　Florence Farmborough, a nurse in the Russian army, documented her experiences with the Russian Red Cross in Galicia, a border region between Ukraine and Poland, through photographs. Farmborough photographed the tragic consequences of war, including corpses lying on the battlefield. She photographed the rarely seen battlefields of the Eastern Front before fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. British news organizations avoided explicit images of the First and Second World Wars.

　　When World War I broke out in 1914, Florence Farmborough, who had become a Red Cross nurse, enlisted in the Imperial Russian Army. She served on the Galician and Romanian fronts. While she was a nurse, Farmborough kept a diary and carried a plate camera with her. While camping with the army, she developed the plates and printed the photographs. [

　　Farmborough witnessed an explosion on the Eastern Front of World War I on May 28th 1916. More than a dozen Russian soldiers were killed in the blast, and others crawled out of their trenches but soon collapsed and died. Only two Russian soldiers were standing and were taken away. The clothes of the two naked red figures who had walked over were burnt. A large barn was converted into a changing room. The two men stood side by side there. They were immediately ordered to be injected. As the skin's blood vessels could not be found, the needle was directly inserted into the flesh. The two men were laid down on the straw in the adjacent hut. In one to two hours, the cotton wool was completely saturated. In order to relieve the suffering of the two soldiers, the morphine injections were repeated many times. Both men died by morning. Neither of them spoke a word.

　　Farmborough accompanied the Russian army into Poland on July 31st 1916. Passing through many battlefields, the dead lay in strange and unnatural positions, crouching, doubled up, stretched out, prone, lying down, Austrian and Russian soldiers lying side by side, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural On the blackened earth, the mangled and crushed bodies of the dead lay. An Austrian soldier with a missing leg and a blackened and swollen face, a Russian soldier with a smashed face and a hideous appearance, a Russian soldier leaning against the barbed wire with his legs doubled up, flies crawling over the multiple open wounds, and other moving threads. These young, strong, energetic men had lost their vitality and lay motionless. How fragile and fleeting human life is. When a bullet pierces living flesh, life ends.

In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the ROKOMO side.

    In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. The Comoros is an archipelago nation made up of three islands in southeastern Africa. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the Comoros side.

     On September 28, 1995, Denar and his mercenaries staged a coup in the Comoros. Denar once again led a group of supporters to defeat the Comoros military, overthrowing Johar and installing Taki as president. Former President Ahmed Abdallah was involved. Immediately, the French government denounced Denar's mercenaries. Denar immediately formed a security force. With the defense agreement with the Comoros (1978) as a backdrop, the French government ordered the special forces to recapture the L'Comoro Islands. From September 28 to October 3, 1995, France dispatched 400 French marines and 200 special forces.

  On October 3, the French police force landed on Comoro. They immediately invaded the mercenary and security forces in Lokomo. Denar surrendered on October 4th. On October 5th, they overpowered the Lokomo mercenary group, arrested Denar, and deported him to a French prison. They reinstated Johar. More than 20 coups occurred in Comoros.

Even after the burns he suffered from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima had healed, Jinpei Terahama still had scars on his body as of April 15th 1947, when he was treated at Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital.

On December 27, 2023, Israel carried out an air strike on the Gaza Strip in Palestine, and the following day, a Palestinian man transported the corpse of a baby from the rubble of Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

　 An Israeli air strike took place in the Gaza Strip in Palestine on December 27, 2023. The following day, on December 28, a Palestinian man carried the dead body of a baby, which had been pulled out of the rubble of Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, while grieving.

    Jabalia refugee camp is the largest refugee camp in Palestinian territory, with a population of over 100,000. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began bombing Jabalia refugee camp in the northeast of the Gaza Strip on October 9th 2023, targeting it as a base for Hamas and other militant groups. In the Jabalia refugee camp in the densely populated Gaza Strip, more than 60 people were killed in an air strike on October 31, and much of the market was destroyed. In an air strike on October 10, 45 people were killed and part of the apartment block was destroyed. On May 31, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces withdrew from Jabalia. The Palestinian Authority said that 70% of the refugee camp had been destroyed. The Israeli army announced that it had recovered the bodies of seven Israeli hostages.

   On December 3, 2023, an Israeli air strike hit the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Palestinian children searched for their fathers under the rubble. The Israeli Defense Forces also bombed the same Jabalia camp on December 2, and dozens of people are feared to have died. Dozens of people died in an air strike on the northern Jabalia refugee camp on December 8. At least 90 people were killed in an air strike on the camp by the Israeli military on December 15.

     As fighting continued across the Palestinian territories, at least 110 people were killed in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza on December 19, 2023, in an Israeli air strike, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.Three houses in the Jabalia refugee camp were hit by an airstrike, killing 50 people and leaving dozens more trapped under the rubble. On December 20, 46 people were killed in an Israeli attack. A total of 30 people were killed on December 22.

　

In 1936, the bodies of two Ethiopian men were scattered on the streets of Addis Ababa under Italian occupation. Their ankles were tied with rope and they were dragged along the streets.

    In 1936, the bodies of two Ethiopian men lay scattered in the streets of Addis Ababa under Italian occupation. Their ankles were tied with rope and they had been dragged along the road. The Second Italo-Ethiopian War was an Italian invasion of Ethiopia that took place from October 1935 to February 1937. It symbolized the expansionist policies that characterized the Axis powers and the impotence of the League of Nations before the outbreak of World War II.

   On October 3, 1935, 200,000 Italian soldiers attacked from Eritrea without a declaration of war. Small units attacked from Italian Somalia. On October 6, the symbol, Adwa, was conquered. On October 15, the Italian army occupied Axum.

    After that, the Italian army, which was lagging behind, was replaced with a new invasion force by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. The poor Ethiopian army counterattacked in December 1935. The Italian army imposed a narrow fence on a detachment of the Ethiopian army. Nazi Germany sent weapons and military supplies to the Italian army. The war dragged on, and it drained the resources of the Italian army. Italy became increasingly dependent on Germany for military support.

   The Ethiopian counteroffensive in December 1935 gave the Italian army the advantage of modern weapons. The Italian army resumed its offensive in early March 1936. On March 29, 1936, they bombed Harar, and two days later, the Italian army won a crushing victory in the Battle of Maychuu. Emperor Haile Selassie went into exile on May 2. The Italian army invaded the capital Addis Ababa on May 5. Italy announced the annexation of Ethiopian territory on May 7. Fighting between the Italian and Ethiopian armies continued until February 19, 1937. On the same day, the attempted assassination of Graziani was followed by the Yekatit 12 massacre in Addis Ababa, in which between 1,400 and 30,000 Ethiopian civilians were massacred. The Italian army suppressed the rebels until 1939.

   The Italian army bombed the Ethiopians with mustard gas. Attacks on the Red Cross were reported. As a result of the Italian invasion, hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian civilians died. War crimes against the Ethiopian army included the use of dum-dum bullets, the killing of civilian workers, and the mutilation of prisoners.

In El Salvador, in 1990, a clearly murderous unit from the Salvadoran government army shot two young men in the head, executing them extrajudicially, and their bodies fell onto the street.

 　In El Salvador, in 1990, a clearly murderous unit from the Salvadoran government's armed forces carried out an extrajudicial execution of two young men. The two young men were shot in the head and bled to death, and their bodies fell onto the road.

　  Extrajudicial execution is the murder of a person by authority that is carried out without being subjected to trial procedures. Even if it follows legal procedures, the state does not have the right to take a person's life. There are countries that consider the death penalty to be inhumane and an unforgivable punishment, and they oppose the death penalty for murder carried out in accordance with legal procedures. They also oppose murder carried out for political motives that do not follow legal procedures. Extrajudicial executions do not necessarily involve “prisoners”. Firing at demonstrators is murder carried out by those in power.

    Unexpected killings in the course of achieving combat objectives during war, or civilians being caught up in air raids and killed. Acts with the clear intention of killing individuals do not envisage large-scale war. It is difficult to prove the intention to kill specific individuals on the actual battlefield. The killing of non-combatants also constitutes “extrajudicial execution”, and indiscriminate bombing has also killed non-combatants. Under military rule, many commanders on the ground were given the authority to execute people without following the law. “Extrajudicial execution” refers to the killing of people for political motives without following judicial procedures such as trials.

   The Salvadoran Civil War was a 12-year civil war that took place in El Salvador from October 1979 to January 1992. It was fought between the government of El Salvador, which was supported by the United States, and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN). The FMLN was a coalition of left-wing guerrilla groups supported by the Cuban government of Fidel Castro and the Soviet Union. The civil war began when the El Salvadoran government killed anti-coup protesters following a coup on October 15th 1979. The war was not officially over until after the collapse of the Soviet Union. On January 16, 1992, the Chapultepec Peace Accords were signed in Mexico City. The United Nations (UN) reported that more than 75,000 people were killed and around 8,000 went missing between 1979 and 1992 as a result of the civil war. Human rights violations, particularly the kidnapping, torture and murder of suspected FMLN sympathizers by state security forces and paramilitary death squads, were widespread.

The self-immolator, who set fire to his own body, shouted slogans at the site of the self-immolation, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.

　　The self-immolator, who set fire to his own body, shouted slogans at the site of the self-immolation, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet. He left a suicide note and a video. The self-immolation was a protest against the Chinese government's repressive policies. The Tibetan people's identity and language are being threatened, and he also left a message calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.

　　On March 16th 2011, 21-year-old monk Puntsok from Kirti Monastery set himself on fire in Tibet. In the short time before his life ended, he left a message for the 6 million Tibetans, urging them to unite as one and work together to resolve the Tibetan issue.

　　On June 20th 2012, a video was taken of Tenzin Kedap and Ngawang Norphel (22) setting themselves on fire in protest in Yushul Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The Tibetan people have no freedom of language, and Chinese is mixed in with the Tibetan language. I want to use my inheritance freely. The self-immolation protest is for Tibet, and we need freedom, cultural traditions and language.

　　From 1950 to 1960, Tibet was invaded by the Chinese Communist Party. From 1960 to 1970, the Chinese Communist Party deprived the Tibetan government of its political power and took over the government. From 1970 ~1980, the Chinese Communist Party's Cultural Revolution led to the collapse of Tibetan beliefs and culture. In 1980~1990, Han Chinese immigrants from China took the jobs of Tibetans.

　　In the 1960s, Tibetan leaders protested against the rule of the Chinese Communist Party. The 10th Panchen Lama sent a 70,000-character petition to the Chinese government leaders. He criticized the Chinese government's cultural genocide of Tibet. Mao Zedong called the 10th Panchen Lama “an enemy of our class” and denounced the petition as a “poisoned arrow.” As a result of the scathing criticism, the 10th Panchen Lama was beaten and placed in solitary confinement. After Mao Zedong's death, the 10th Panchen Lama was released. In 1989, the 10th Panchen Lama was mysteriously killed a few days after making a statement protesting Tibet under Chinese rule.

　　Due to historical processes, many young Tibetans have been driven to self-immolation protests. Every day, the Tibetan people were angered by the Chinese government's suppression of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, language and identity, and its intervention in Tibetan Buddhism. The Chinese government condemned the Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and criticized monks and nuns.

　　Chinese immigrants poured into Tibet, taking away the jobs, land and future of the Tibetan people. Tibetan towns were being Chineseized. The Tibetans felt wary and fearful, and the nomads had their livestock stolen and were driven from the grasslands. The nomads lost their income and suffered poverty. Large-scale development also did not benefit the Tibetans. Natural resources were plundered and taken to eastern China. Tibet's Chinese-ization progressed, and they became second-class citizens on their ancestral land. There were no protests from the world, and the majority of people pretended not to see it.

On January 31, 1968, during the Tet Offensive in Saigon, the capital of Vietnam, a Vietcong soldier was killed on the grounds of the American Embassy.

ベトナム戦争にて1968年1月31日に、ベトナムの首都サイゴンにおけるテト攻勢の最中に、アメリカ大使館の敷地内で、ベトコン兵士が殺害された。アメリカ軍警察、記者、大使館員に囲まれて、アメリカ大使がベトコンの死体を見つめた。アメリカ軍の反撃で殺害されるまでの6時間に、19人のベトコンゲリラがサイゴンのアメリカ大使館を占拠した。 

　1968年1月31日早朝に、ベトナムの国民が旧正月であるテトを祝う中で、共産主義のベトコン部隊が南ベトナム全土で組織的な奇襲攻撃が勃発した。その日に、サイゴンのアメリカ大使館が標的となった。 ベトコン部隊は大使館の一部を制圧し、殺害または捕虜となるまでの約6時間、大使館を占拠した。大使館への攻撃は、アメリカが戦争に勝つと信じたアメリカ国民に衝撃をアメリカ国民の与えた。テト攻勢中に被ったアメリカ軍の死傷者の生々しい映像は、長い戦争に嫌気したアメリカ国民の反戦感情を煽った。ジョンソン大統領は、ベトナムで解決策を見いだず、1968年3月31日に、再選を目指さず、党の指名も受けないと発表した。1975年4月30日、サイゴンが北ベトナムに陥落し、最後のアメリカ人がベトナムを去るまで、ベトナムでは南北間の内線が続いた。

　1月31日午前2時47分、ベトコンが境界壁に小さな穴を開け、大使館敷地内に侵入し、大使館ビルに発砲した。20人のベトコン部隊が大使館の敷地を囲む壁を爆破し、中庭になだれ込んだ。午前9時00分までに、アメリカ軍は大使館の安全を宣言した。ベトコンは建物に入ることに失敗した。侵入した20人のベトコンは、18人が憲兵、海兵隊警備隊、民間警備隊員の発砲によって殺害され、敷地内には死体が散乱して、2人が捕虜になった。アメリカ海兵隊員1名とアメリカ陸軍憲兵隊員4名が、大使館防衛中に殺害されて命を落とした。

On October 4, 2022, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers who had retreated were abandoned on the streets of Lyman in the Donbas region of Ukraine.

　　On October 4th 2022, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers who had retreated were abandoned on the streets of Lyman in the Donbas region of Ukraine. They were still wearing their military uniforms and boots. Nearby, there was a pile of discarded Russian military uniforms, sleeping bags and ration packs. The Associated Press, which reported from Lyman, saw at least 18 more bodies of Russian soldiers that had not yet been removed. The Ukrainian military had apparently temporarily collected the bodies of Russian soldiers after the fierce fighting over control of the town of Lyman, but they did not immediately remove the bodies of the Russian soldiers.

　  On September 30, 2022, the Russian government unilaterally declared the annexation of four eastern Ukrainian provinces - Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, as well as Zaporizhzhya and Kherson Oblasts. By October 2, the Russian military had withdrawn from the eastern strategic town of Lyman, which they had been using as a logistics and transport base, in order to avoid being surrounded by Ukrainian troops. The Russian army abandoned Ukraine's major cities at a rapid pace, leaving the bodies of their comrades in the streets. More evidence of the military defeat of the Russian army, which is struggling to cling on to the four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed last week, was presented on October 4th.

     In the eastern Ukrainian town of Lyman, which the Ukrainian army has recaptured from the Russian army, the deserted streets are strewn with rubble, and there are boarded-up buildings and charred buildings lining the streets. Metal sheets hanging from the broken roofs are being blown around by the wind. There are almost no residents out and about. The population before the war was around 20,000, but the number of dogs was almost the same as the number of people. Two young volunteers from a Ukrainian humanitarian aid organization were carefully and quietly numbering the bodies of the Russian soldiers and searching for anything that could be used to identify them. They placed the bodies of the Russian soldiers in black body bags and left the battlefield.

Warning: Bodies of Russian soldiers were abandoned by their troops after their retreat, on a street in Lyman, Donbas, Ukraine, on October 4, 2022. (ADRIEN VAUTIER / LE PICTORIUM POUR « LE MONDE »)

At the end of the Pacific War, during the Battle of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, the bodies of a small boy and a woman were found lying in the ruins of Intramuros, having been massacred by the Japanese army.

 　　At the end of the Pacific War, during the Battle of Manila, the capital of the Philippines, the body of a small boy who had been massacred by the Japanese army was lying in the ruins of Intramuros. There was also the body of another woman nearby. Intramuros is a historic walled area in the city of Manila, covering 67 square kilometers.

　　In January 1945, when the American troops returned to the Philippines, the battle to liberate Manila began. The Japanese troops were pushed back and eventually retreated to within the walls of Intramuros. The American troops heavily bombarded the walled city of Manila, and more than 16,665 Japanese soldiers died within Intramuros. Two of Intramuros' eight gates were heavily damaged by American tanks. The bombing destroyed and pulverized most of Intramuros. In the Battle of Manila, more than 100,000 Filipino men, women and children died between February 3 and March 3, 1945.

　　The attack on Intramuros began on the morning of February 23 with a bombardment of 140 guns, after which 148 units of the American army attacked, breaching the walls between Quezon and Parián gates, while 129 units crossed the Pasig River and attacked the area around the Government Mint. The battle for Intramuros continued until February 26. On February 23, the Japanese army killed most of the men in a group of about 3,000 civilians who had been taken hostage. Colonel Noguchi's soldiers and sailors killed 1,000 men and women.

　　On March 4, the Americans secured Intramuros and Manila was officially liberated. In this battle, 1,010 American soldiers were killed and 5,565 were wounded. At least 100,000 Filipino civilians were killed in both the deliberate Manila massacre by the Japanese army and the shelling and bombing by the Japanese and American forces. Of the 17,000 Japanese soldiers who took part in the Battle of Manila, 16,000 were killed in action.

On April 15th 1994, genocide broke out in the village of Nyarubue in Rwanda. The bodies of Tutsis massacred by Hutu militias were scattered around the Nyamata Catholic Church.

　　On April 15th 1994, genocide broke out in the village of Nyarubue in Rwanda. The bodies of Tutsis massacred by Hutu militias were scattered around the Nyamata Catholic Church.

　　When the Belgian army and administrators, who had governed Rwanda since 1922, withdrew on April 7th 1944, Hutu leaders took control of Rwanda. There were attacks on the Tutsi, and some Tutsi fled across the border into Uganda, forming guerrilla units and aiming to retake power. In the summer of 1996, Tutsi guerrilla forces swept from Zaire to the capital. Mobutu's Hutu army collapsed and fled the country. Kabila took control of the country and renamed it the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In a war called the All-African Alliance, the government of the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was replaced.

　　On April 6th 1994, the plane of the Hutu president was shot down and he was killed. For several months, young Hutu villagers had joined armed militia groups and armed themselves with spears and machetes. In other parts of the country, Hutu groups began killing Tutsis.

　　Flora Mukampole's husband asked the village chief of Nyarubuye for protection, but the chief refused and told them to seek refuge in the church. Eventually, 3,000 Tutsis gathered around the church seeking refuge. Some of the men were armed with bows and arrows and spears, but it was to no avail. On April 15th 1994, when the Hutu militia attacked the church, the village mayor, who was leading the attack, ordered the Hutu government soldiers and police to use guns and grenades against the Tutsis. The Tutsis panicked and fled, and the Hutu militiamen chased them with machetes and killed the Tutsis. The Tutsi people were hacked to pieces, and the dead and injured lay in heaps.

　　Flora Mukampole, who had been hit on the head with a machete, lay among the heaps of bodies. The Hutu militiamen hunted down the surviving Tutsis and killed them. She lay there motionless for several days, not leaving the church grounds. The church was filled with corpses. She stayed with the children, surrounded by thousands of decomposing bodies, and after a week, Tutsi rebel soldiers arrived at the church and took her to a hospital.

On April 14th 1945, the bodies of the prisoners who had been murdered at the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany during World War II were laid out in a pile in the wasteland within the camp.

　　On April 14th 1945, the bodies of the prisoners who had been killed in the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany during World War II were laid out in a heap in the wasteland within the camp. There were many piles of bodies with no clothes on. The Buchenwald concentration camp, which was established in a forest near Weimar in 1937, is located about 8km northwest of Weimar, Germany. In the end, it came to control 88 smaller camps, and Buchenwald became one of the largest concentration camps in Germany. The camp held Jews, Poles, Slavs, the mentally ill, the physically disabled, political prisoners, Roma, criminals, Jehovah's Witnesses, prisoners of war, and others. For several years after the camp was established, there were no female prisoners until the end of 1943 or the beginning of 1944.

　　At its peak in February 1945, the number of prisoners in Buchenwald concentration camp reached 112,000. The prisoners worked as forced laborers in 12-hour shifts in munitions factories, quarries, and various camp workshops around Weimar. Although there were no poison gas chambers in the camp, hundreds of people died from illness, malnutrition, exhaustion, beatings, and executions. Between July 1937 and April 1945, the SS had 250,000 people interned at Buchenwald.

　In early April 1945, American soldiers approached Buchenwald. German soldiers forced the prisoners to march from the main camp to various sub-camps. Many prisoners died on the way from exhaustion. Anticipating their liberation, some prisoners stormed the guard tower to take control of the concentration camp. Other prisoners fought tirelessly to protect the approximately 900 Jewish boys in the camp.

　　Many of the German guards and officers fled before the approaching Allied forces. On April 11, 1945, the 83rd US Infantry Division entered Buchenwald and found more than 21,000 prisoners in the camp. It was one of the three main camps under the command of the Central Administration of the Concentration Camp, along with Dachau (near Munich) and Sachsenhausen (Berlin). In 1945, it held 47,500 prisoners from 30 countries. Of these, 20,000 were still alive when it was liberated in April 1945. It is estimated that 6 million people died in all the concentration camps.
