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.From Mrs L. Savcic
Sir: My sister was at prep school in Hastings during the 1960s ("The latter-day battle of Hastings", 22 May). Each day the children were given, among other restricted foods, two measured teaspoons of sugar and jam and told that that was what they would have received "if Hitler had won the war". The school has since closed, but maybe some of the depressing after-effects linger on. My sister has never been back.
Yours faithfully,
LILY SAVCIC
