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.Jewish organisations have denounced an Estonian newspaper for publishing a mock ad for weight-loss pills depicting emaciated prisoners at a Nazi concentration camp.
Efraim Zuroff of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Jerusalem called the mock ad in the Eesti Ekspress weekly a "perverted attempt at humour at the expense of the Nazis' millions of victims".
Alla Jakobson, spokeswoman for Estonia's Jewish community, said in newspaper Postimees that the incident shows Estonian society is experiencing "major problems with moral and ethical values".
Sulev Vedler, deputy editor of Eesti Ekspress, said the mock ad, which ran in the paper's humour section, was poking fun at an Estonian gas company that recently used an image of Auschwitz to promote its services.
Mr Vedler said the ad "was not targeted against Jewish people".
