A little-known story of Holocaust survivors liberated from a train near Magdeburg in April 1945 has been brought to wider attention after a family’s old photographs led to interviews with survivors and the American soldiers who found them.

When Connolly asked her father about the photographs, he told her…

A migrant boat launched from Utah Beach in Normandy was escorted across the Channel to Portsmouth after French authorities intercepted it, raising fears among officials that people-smuggling gangs are opening a new route to Britain. The 34ft inflatable was carrying an estimated 130 passengers when it set off at about 3.30am on Sunday.

If elected, Ms Nixon would become Florida’s first Black senator.…
