It's difficult for us to join #WorldChildrensDay. The history of #Auschwitz is also the tragic story of over 232,000 babies, kids and teenagers deported to the camp where they were murdered or imprisoned. We honor & remember them today.

#WorldChildrensDay A heart-breaking moment in an SS picture of Hungarian Jews near gas chamber IV at #Auschwitz II-Birkenau in 1944. A child found a dandelion in the grass and is giving or showing it to an older boy. All the people in the picture were gassed moments later.

When students couldn't afford to pay tuition, Berea College eliminated it.

In 1920, its board of trustees ruled any unrestricted money given to the school would be invested in an endowment to grow over time.

The endowment is now worth about $1.2 billion. https://t.co/4J73a55A12
