Moss hailed as true racer at memorial service

Published by skeptic

LONDON : Stirling Moss was hailed as a true racer and all-time Formula One great at a memorial service in London’s Westminster Abbey on Wednesday for a man who remains a byword for speed and sportsmanship. Triple Formula One world champion Jackie Stewart led the tributes for a driver, widely regarded as the greatest never to win the title, who died aged 90 in April 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic made such a public gathering, with some 2,000 guests in attendance on Wednesday, impossible at the time. “There will never be another Stirling Moss. He drove well, he presented himself well, he dressed well and he was just an amazing character,” said Stewart, 84. “I don’t think in the history of the sport there has been somebody so well loved and who has continued to be so well loved.” The son of Argentina’s late five times world champion Juan Manuel Fangio, Moss’s friend, rival and team mate, attended the service along with champions Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill. Seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton was represented …

The yearly memorial march at the former death camp at Auschwitz overshadowed by the Israel-Hamas war

The yearly memorial march at the former death camp at Auschwitz overshadowed by the Israel-Hamas war

Published by Sam

OSWIECIM, Poland (AP) — Holocaust survivors and survivors of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel were among thousands who took part Monday in the March of the Living, a yearly memorial march at the site of Auschwitz that honors the 6 million Jews killed by Nazi Germany and celebrates the state of Israel. This year, the mood at the march was overshadowed by the war in Gaza after the October attack on Israel by Hamas, the deadliest violence against Jews since Adolf Hitler’s regime sought to destroy the entire Jewish population of Europe. That attack, in which Hamas militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took some 250 people hostage, unleashed a deadly Israeli offensive that has killed over 34,000 Palestinians, destroyed much of Gaza and pushed hundreds of thousands of people to the brink of famine. Israel’s Gaza offensive has been fueling pro-Palestinian protests, including at many U.S. campuses. Israel and its supporters have branded the protests as antisemitic, while critics of Israel say it uses such allegations to silence opponents. While some …
