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.IN James Fox's appreciation of Martha Gellhorn ("Memories of Martha", Section 2, 22 February), he says she had "the first documentary evidence of the concentration camp at Birkenhau, just before the war began, smuggled out and entrusted to her". Surely not. Birkenhau was planned in 1941 and opened in spring 1942 as a satellite to Ausch- witz, which received its first prisoners on 14 June 1940. As both death camps are on Polish soil they could not have been established before September 1939. Perhaps Mr Fox meant Buchenwald as this was founded in 1938.

HENRY BLOFELD claims that Guyana "possesses the highest waterfalls in the world, the Kaiteur falls", ("The glories of Bourda skirmishes", Sport, 22 February). I always thought the Angel Falls in Venezuela, at 3,212 feet, were the highest.
