Demography - the study of human population and society

“The map [below] shows the last recorded residence - or birthplace, if the pre-#Holocaust home is unknown - of all identified* Jews killed at #Auschwitz. Even though that camp was responsible for just one-sixth of the death toll, it claimed lives from nearly everywhere in #Nazi-occupied territory, and those of many people born elsewhere, too.”

It counts only killed Jews who are identified until 2020.

“The 1.1m people killed at Auschwitz, an extermination camp in occupied #Poland, were born as far away as #Finland and #Morocco.”

We all have a hat - if not on our heads, then certainly stuffed away in a wardrobe somewhere. Whether for warmth or as a fashion accessory, hats say a lot about their wearers, and mass production has made them available to all. But the story of hats begins with the hat-makers, and they're an endangered breed of skilled craftspeople. We talked to some of them and discovered the art of hat making.
