After Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948, his body was cremated and his ashes were parceled out to a number of family and friends. One family friend, Vilas Mehta, kept the ashes she was given until she was on her deathbed last year. Mehta then entrusted in daughter-in-law with the ashes. The daughter-in-law gave the ashes back to Gandhi's family.

On January 30, 2010, 62 years after Gandhi's death, Gandhi's great grandson, accompanied by about 200 family and friends, scattered the ashes into the Indian Ocean off the coast of Durban, South Africa. For more information about the ceremony, including a video, please see this BBC article.

Hitler's bunker, located below the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, was where Hitler, Eva Braun, and other top ranking Nazis stayed during the heavy bombing of the city at the end of World War II. It has often been thought that the bunker was drab inside. Not so, according to a newly found artifact.

During a recent renovation of the archive room at The Green Howards Museum, a museum dedicated to the British regiment named Green Howards, an envelope was found. Inside the envelope was a fragment of carpeting from Hitler's bunker. The fragment shows that the carpeting was full of color and design, including yellow flowers. The carpet fragment will be on display at the museum, but if you can't make it there to visit, you can sneak an online peak of the carpet fragment.
