it appears that some of the french women had their shoes removed and were shaved in their stockinged feetI wonder if this was to add to their humiliation?
ften they didn’t stop at shaving their heads; they painted a swastika on their faces or burned a brand on their foreheads. There were also cases of lynching, when girls were simply shot. They were deemed “nationally unworthy,” and many received six months to one year in prison, followed by a reduction in their license for another year. In Norway there were about 15 thousand such girls, and five thousand who gave birth to children from the Germans were sentenced to one and a half years of forced labor, and almost all the children, at the instigation of the government, were declared mentally retarded and sent to homes for the mentally ill, where they were kept until they were 60– x years. The Norwegian War Children's Union would later claim that “Nazi caviar” and “morons,” as these children were called, were used to test medical drugs. in 2005, the Norwegian parliament will formally apologize to these innocent victims and approve compensation for their experiences in the amount of 3 thousand euros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k20MkC_Hulk

Ruth Snyder was accused of murdering her husband and pleaded a miserable life in her defense. Since the electric chair replaced hanging, almost all women sentenced to death were pardoned. But Ruth Snyder's appeal was rejected, no doubt because her crime was remembered for its brutality; the murder of her husband with the help of her lover, which turns into a massacre... Ruth Snyder received about 2,500 letters from women congratulating her for rebelling against her husband's domination, as well as 164 marriage proposals...
"The Execution of Ruth Snyder." This photograph of Tom Howard appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News on January 13, 1928.
“On January 12, 1928, Ruth Snyder's execution by electric chair occurred as scheduled at 11:01 p.m. at Sing Sing Prison in New York State. Her last words were those of Jesus on the cross: “Forgive them, my father, because they don’t know what they are doing”... Since the electric chair replaced hanging in the mid-1980s, almost all women sentenced to death have executions were pardoned. But Ruth Snyder's appeal was rejected, undoubtedly because her crime was remembered by people for its cruelty, the murder of her husband with the help of her lover, which turned into a massacre... On D-Day, about twenty witnesses were present at the murder, including many journalists. ", photographers were not allowed in. However, on the morning of January 13th, a surprise occurs: the New York Daily News publishes a front-page photo of Ruth Snyder in the electric chair. If the photo is a little blurry, it's because it was taken at that moment , when the body has experienced shock... Emotions are strong and many readers say they are shocked.This prevents. On this day, the newspaper published an additional circulation of 750,000 copies!
On the front page of the Daily News, January 13, 1928.
For state and prison leaders, the conundrum is complex. Where is this photo from?
As soon as the execution date was announced a few months earlier, the editor of the Daily News fantasized about the photo and studied the data on the issue. There is no question of entering the execution chamber with a camera under your arm; it will be immediately confiscated. There is no question of sending a photographer from the local newspaper; the local police will inevitably recognize him. Then an idea arises: you need to find a photographer in another place who will pretend to be an editor, and provide him with a hidden camera.
A month before the fateful day, Tom Howard, a photographer for the Chicago Tribune, arrived in New York and checked into a hotel, with all expenses paid by the Daily News. He will spend the remaining weeks testing a miniature device, modified for the occasion: it works without film, on the principle of a glass plate. But Howard basically practices pulling up his pant leg and aiming in the right direction because the prohibited item will be attached to his ankle and the cord will run up his pant leg to the trigger, which will be hidden in his pocket.
On January 12, the photographer appeared in Sing Sing much earlier than the other witnesses. He wants to be among the first to choose the best place.
