Of those who died, 247 were women and 205 were children.

Originally constructed around the time of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC, the ancient city of Jerash (now in modern day Jordan) was held by a number of successive empires. In 749 AD, an earthquake destroyed much of the city. Wars and subsequent earthquakes added to the deterioration. The ruins remained buried until rediscovered in 1806.

Netley Abbey, in 1890 (colourized). This ruined medieval monastery in Hampshire, England was founded in 1239 as a house for monks of the austere Cistercian order. In 1536, Netley Abbey was seized by Henry VIII of England during the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the buildings granted to William Paulet, a wealthy Tudor politician, who converted them into a mansion. The abbey was used as a country house until the beginning of the eighteenth century, after which it was abandoned and partially demolished for building materials. Subsequently the ruins became a tourist attraction, and provided inspiration to poets and artists of the Romantic movement. Since the 20th century it has been cared for by English Heritage.

🇵🇱 April 27, 1943: Witold Pilecki escapes from Auschwitz. A proud patriot, Pilecki founded one of the first Polish resistance movements against the Nazi occupation. He volunteered in 1940 to be imprisoned in Auschwitz, where he gathered some of the first information about the atrocities the Nazis committed there, passing it on to the Allies. In 1943 he managed to make a daring escape, rejoined the Polish Home Army, and took part in the Warsaw Uprising. After the war he remained loyal to the London-based Polish government-in-exile. In 1948 he was executed by the communist authorities in Poland.

A tent camp in Johannesburg around 1901 during the second Boer War. When the Boers refused to surrender, the British rounded up thousands of Afrikaners (boers) and put them in concentration camps. Between June 1901 and May 1902, 115,000 people were brought into the concentration camps. There were a total of 45 tented camps built for Boer internees and 64 camps for black Africans. The camps were poorly administered from the outset and 48,000 Afrikaners lost their lives in the disease-ridden tents (about 10% of the Boer population at the time). Most of the victims were women and children.

Illustrations of the arrest and execution of William Tyndale. Tyndale was a scholar known for his work in translating the Bible into English. Inspired by Erasmus and Martin Luther, his goal was that people could read the Bible in their own language. As he told one catholic scholar: "If God spare my life, ere many years, I will cause a boy that driveth the plow shall know more of the Scripture than thou doest." He paid the ultimate sacrifice for his convictions. In 1535 he was betrayed to authorities in Antwerp, where he was staying, and was burned at the stake for "heresy" the next year. His last words were "God open the king of England's eyes." Today he is considered the single most important reformer of the English church.
