Rescue ends with all nine victims recovered in Sierra Nevada avalanche

All nine victims of the Sierra Nevada avalanche have been recovered after a multi-day, helicopter-assisted search; eight were found earlier this week and the last on Saturday. The group included six women who were close friends and experienced skiers, along with three professional guides, while six others survived. The incident is the deadliest avalanche in the U.S. since 1981, and responders faced brutal weather and a flight restriction while continuing mitigation and rescue operations.

Miracle Babies of the Death Train: Surviving Auschwitz and the Mauthausen Liberation

Three young Holocaust survivors—Eva Clarke, Hana Berger-Moran, and Mark Olsky—were born to pregnant prisoners who concealed their pregnancies to avoid Nazi execution, endured brutal transports from Auschwitz-area camps on a death train to Mauthausen, and survived to be liberated by American troops. Their mothers' stories intersected as the babies endured famine, starvation, and peril, the rescue by a U.S. medic saved Hana’s life, and the three families later found each other, sparking a rare, enduring bond across generations that continues to memorialize the past.

Attorneys note redaction errors and missteps by the DOJ, and lawmakers pressure for unredacted records and proper congressional oversight as the investigation’s fallout continues. Epstein died in 2019, and figures connected to the case, including notable names referenced in the files, remain under scrutiny.
