VW V30 Prototype (1937) – Replica

On May 28, 1937, the government of Germany—then under the
control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party—
formed a new state-owned automobile company, then known
as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens
mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk,
or “The People’s Car Company.”

Originally operated by the German Labor Front, a Nazi
organization, Volkswagen was headquartered in Wolfsburg,
Germany.

Benjamin Berell Ferencz (March 11, 1920 – April 7, 2023)

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ben Ferencz, the last living
prosecutor from the Nuremberg trials, who tried Nazis for
genocidal war crimes and was among the first outside
witnesses to document the atrocities of Nazi labor and
concentration camps, has died. He had just turned 103
in March.

Ferencz died Friday evening in Boynton Beach, Florida,
according to St. John’s University law professor John
Barrett, who runs a blog about the Nuremberg trials. The
death also was confirmed by the U.S. Holocaust Museum
in Washington.

"Today the world lost a leader in the quest for justice for
victims of genocide and related crimes," the museum
tweeted.
