    This is a letter from Van Gogh’s doctor, Felix Rey, showing how the artist cut off his whole ear, rather than just the lobe as many had believed. This document was found in an archive by researcher Bernadette Murphy, who was determined to find out why he had done this. Thread

  6. PLS HELP. I'm struggling to recall & find a lovely letter that once did the rounds on here, written by a woman to, or maybe just about, her father. The father was famous. It had been reprinted in a book, I think. Ugh. Very vague, I know. Any ideas?

    So, it seems I am mentioned in the Telegraph’s obituary of Stephen Joyce. It still mortifies me that I misspelled the title of Finnegans Wake in my letter to him. His response nevertheless was characteristically harsh. ‘My wife and I don’t like your music’ ?

    So here's my Nicholas Parsons story (thread!), which showed me what a lovely, considerate man he was. I grew up listening to Just a Minute... I was obsessed by it. I absolutely loved the sharp wit and off the cuff humour. Radio gold.

  10. On this day in 1986, Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch, killing all 7 crew members. In a memo to his superiors 6 months earlier, an engineer had predicted a “catastrophe of the highest order.” His warning was ignored. Full memo:

    Today marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. This letter was written by Vilma Grunwald, who gave it to a guard moments before she entered the gas chamber with her disabled son, John. It was addressed to her husband, Kurt, who'd been put to work elsewhere at the camp.

  13. In 1967, when his father died, Frank found the letter & read it for the first time. He didn't show anyone for 20 years. In 2012 he donated it to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, where it now lives:

  14. Miraculously, the guard took the letter to Vilma's husband, who was eventually reunited with their other, younger son, Misa (later Frank). He had also been at Auschwitz but separated from both parents. When told about the letter by his father, he couldn't bear to read it.
