Casablanca (1942), which is about to get to its seventy third anniversary has all that the elements that made the film an enduring international classic — a great cast in a riveting love story; an exotic, glamorous setting; melodramatic and heroic sacrifices; sharp, strong dialogue; and the triumph of idealism over cynicism in a “world gone mad” — are still capturing our imagination. It is one of those rare films from Hollywood’s Golden Age that has managed to transcend its era to entertain…

The artistic outlooks of both McKay and Jackson portray power and greed. The theme that both the poem and painting support is: too much power and greed will always lead to destruction. In McKay’s poem, “Birds of Prey”, the birds represent greed and their victims represent destruction. Similarly, in Jackson’s painting, “Man Eats World”, the man eating the earth represents power and the earth itself represents destruction. What is more, symbolism plays a colossal role in both the painting and poem…

On the day of May 24, 1943, the Auschwitz extermination camp changed. They had just received a new, spine-chilling doctor, Josef Mengele; he had also worked in a few other camps.

He began to study medicine and found an interest in anthropology and genetics.…
