With great sadness, we received information about the passing of Dr. Eva V. Ebin, a Hungarian-Jewish Auschwitz Survivor.
Born on 31 October 1926, in Budapest, Dr. Eva V. Ebin, née Eva Szegel, grew up in Munkács, a Jewish community where only about 15 percent survived the Holocaust.
Eva was deported from Munkács to Auschwitz in May 1944 at age 17. Her mother and much of her extended family were murdered upon arrival. In November 1944, she was transferred from Auschwitz to Lenzing, a subcamp of Mauthausen in Austria, where she was liberated in early May 1945.
After the war, she raced to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming a doctor. She completed medical school in Vienna, immigrated to the United States, married, and became Dr. Eva V. Ebin, a board-certified pediatrician and psychiatrist in New York.
She died on July 6, 2026, at 99 years old, and is remembered by three of her four children, 22 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren, and friends for her elegance, discipline, high standards, and love.
At 4:34 p.m., the ROCCC received multiple 911 calls reporting a swimmer in distress in Duxbury Bay off Bradford Road.
Bystanders swam out and brought the victim to shore, where an off-duty Duxbury police officer immediately began CPR until members of the DXFD arrived.

Stroke can happen without warning. Knowing the signs could save someone's life.
Sudden loss of balance. Vision changes. Face drooping. Arm weakness. Slurred speech. If you see any of these — call 911 immediately.
Share this with someone you love.
This is what a broken healthcare system & rigged tax code looks like:
Last year, CVS paid $0 in federal income taxes, raised premiums by nearly 20%, cut over 1,800 jobs, gave its CEO $21 million & made $6.57 billion in profit.
Yes. We must tax the rich & enact Medicare for All.
I wanna give a special shout out to MGM Resorts,,, many people offered to help the hockey team,,, but when I said I wanted to include ALL women who earned medals from the winter games + USABS,,, they didn’t hesitate and stepped up to be REAL partners with 100+ rooms. #SheGotGame
Dr. Z breaks down the two biggest modifiable risk factors linked to brain aneurysms: uncontrolled high blood pressure and smoking. What you change today can lower your risk tomorrow. Know the facts and take action.
I love this woman.
Claudia Riegler of Austria, 52, became the oldest woman to compete in a Winter Olympics. This is her fifth consecutive Games.
She competed in the women’s parallel giant slalom, which is snowboard racing head-to-head. Yesterday morning, she beat out sixteen other snowboarders, all of whom are at least two decades younger, to qualify for the elimination bracket.
She lost in the Round of 16 by just over a second to 30-year-old Ester Ledecká of the Czech Republic.
Incredibly, she was told 22 years ago by a coach that she was “too old” to compete. That was five Winter Olympics ago.
I have a new hero.

Little did Anne Frank know at the time that her diary entry would also be a perfect description of 2026 America under the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. 😳👇
There was an unexpected visitor to Twickenham Library yesterday when a fox decided to pop in and make themselves VERY comfortable! 🦊
The @RichmondLibs team had to close the up temporarily to remove the fox, who we can only assume was after some Roald Dahl...
It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.
