All over the world, Auschwitz has become a symbol of terror, genocide, and the Holocaust.
It was established by Germans in 1940, in the suburbs of Oswiecim, a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Its name was changed to Auschwitz, which also became the name of Konzentrationslager Auschwitz.

Nunnington Hall
Nunnington Hall is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Nunnington, whose dress is heard dragging up and down the staircase. When the sound is investigated it tends to stop.
Doors are known to open and slam shut in the dead of night, with no explanation, and the sounds of weeping have been heard throughout the night.

Rievaulx was at the hub of a trade network that extended as far as Italy. Fleeces from the abbey’s flocks were highly prized and Reivaulx became very rich.
Cracking Enigma Code
It is estimated that Cracking Enigma code shortened World War II for approximately 2 – 3 years. It certainly changed the history. I don’t want to think what would happen if German cipher wasn’t cracked. Some say that, with some degree of probability, One American plane could be sent to fly over Central Europe, instead of Hiroshima… (?).
