QUESTION: Jews In Numbers

question / pregunta: 

Some people admit and others deny the Holocaust. Recorded numbers will determine whether Nazis really murdered 6 million Jews or whether the Holocaust was a big lie. Numbers do not lie. I am working at present on this research. I need numbers for my research.

I need numbers of German Jews in each year from 1933 until 1945 as well as numbers of Jews in each country Nazis occupied from the year of occupation until 1945. I need also numbers of deceased German Jews in each year from 1933 until 1945 and numbers of deceased Jews in each country occupied by Nazis from the year of occupation until 1945. I need moreover numbers of German Jews emigrated from Germany in each year from 1933 until 1945 in addition to numbers of Jews emigrated from each country occupied by Nazis from the year of occupation until 1945.

I would request that your would supply me with the numbers.

QUESTION: Foreclosures in my county

question / pregunta: 

I'm looking for foreclosure data for my county, which is Bryan County, Georgia, USA. Most of what I find is either for the entire state, or the largest nearby town (Savannah) which doesn't help me as I'm trying to focus on where I live.

Nice to have, but not necessary: There are two halves on Bryan County. One side contains Pembroke, the other Richmond Hill. They are actually not connected at all, the result of a military base established years ago. There is a huge discrepency in income between the two sides, so it would be nice if I could differentiate between the two. Being able to map out where the foreclosures have been would be swell, too.

QUESTION: Medication Access for Prisoners

question / pregunta: 

Are there studies of how often prisoners are denied access to medications while incarcerated? I am putting together a workshop on disability issues for environmental activists. One of the topics I will be addressing is activism by disabled people and the decision to risk arrest. This is also an important question for trans activists who take hormones. There are a lot of individual news items and cases out there, but I am looking for something more systematic and comprehensive.

QUESTION: Prejudices

question / pregunta: 

I went to school with Jahar and knew him pretty well. After what happened my friends and I really do not know what to think, but after watching hours of media coverage of this whole event I realized that the media cannot be trusted so easily with the info they give. It is hard not to trust the media because it is everywhere, but how can one go on about knowing facts while at the same time not fully trusting the media where they come from? how would the media be able to do differently?

QUESTION: Extradition of US Citizens to foreign countries

question / pregunta: 

Radical Reference--

I'm working on an article about the extraditions of five Americans to Canada to face charges related to a Black Bloc at the 2010 Toronto G20. Part of the article is looking into the exceptional nature of extraditions for charges that mostly consist of vandalism. I have been unable thusfar to find any information about how many Americans have been extradited to foreign countries, and for what sorts of crimes they are typically extradited. I have contacted the US Marshalls, the Dept of State, and the Bureau of Statistics to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks

QUESTION: Collections Development Question

question / pregunta: 

Hey, I am a member of the Progressive Librarians Guild, London Ontario Student Chapter. We are developing a special library with the UWO teaching assistants union (PSAC Local 610). It is designed to be a collection of books on the history of the labour movement in Canada, the academic workplace, the student movement, and more. As a joint project, the library is intended to provide an information resource for union activists.

We are currently in the collections development and acquisition stage. Our question is two-fold: would you happen to know of any independent and labour-friendly publishers based in Canada? Would you have any suggestions for materials to strengthen this collection?

QUESTION: legal rights for media

question / pregunta: 

Dear Radical Reference,

I'm trying to figure out what the Legal Rights are of a media person when documenting activism, protest and direct actions. Can the police arrest/detain you for trying to record? What legal defense can be used in the field when engaged in this activity if someone tries to prevent it or threaten someone recording? What are the legal dangers of recording violence against citizens and/or police brutality? Is it illegal to record faces in the crowd, etc?

Particularly in the following cities/states/reservations:
Chicago, IL
Phoenix, Arizona
South Dakota (Pine Ridge and other Reservations)
Washington, DC

Thanks!

QUESTION: Radical and revolutionary feminism and gender liberation

question / pregunta: 

Hi there,

I'm part of a study group that studies about strategies for revolution (i.e. economic, socio-cultural, etc.) and our study group is trying to come up with articles that discuss both the theoretical and the practical aspects of combining socialistic and feministic revolution. I would appreciate any guidance on this subject.

Thank you,
Pietro
