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.

Several events have taken place recently to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp at Auschwitz. The Imperial War Museum's UK outposts have contributed to these, not least the London home of the august institution.

The Holocaust Exhibition charts how, for the first time, industrial methods were used for the mass extermination of a race of people. The appalling story starts with the turbulent political environment in Europe after the First World War and traces the rise of the Nazi party. Also showing is a special 30-minute film: Crimes Against Humanity: an Exploration of Genocide and Ethnic Violence. Shot by film-makers Annie Dodds and James Barker, commentators include Fergal Keane, Martin Bell and international jurist Richard Goldstone. The film runs throughout the day.
