LETTER: Those who wish to rewrite history start by banning books
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.THE SORDID silence of William Shirer on the gay victims of Nazism is matched by the almost absolute silence of Second World War histories on the role of the gay soldier. The contributions and the persecutions of the soldier who officially does not exist must soon be documented or lost forever because of the deaths of war veterans.
The manipulation of history by convenient omissions allows minority groups to be stigmatised and controlled.
