Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Museums at former Nazi death camps in Poland have been asked to drop the .pl suffixes in their internet addresses by the country's culture minister.
Bogdan Zdrojewski said he wants to fight a historically erroneous association between the death camps and Poland.
Poles fear that as the Second World War becomes more distant, they will get blamed for Nazi crimes because many of the former camps are located today on Polish soil.
During the war, the Germans ran them in countries that they occupied, including Poland.
Mr Zdrojewski said today that Auschwitz, Majdanek and other state museums could replace the .pl suffix with .eu.
Poland is also waging a worldwide campaign to stop foreign media referring to such places as "Polish death camps".
