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.

During the Second World War she fed her young patients in the Warsaw ghetto fatal doses of morphine to save them from the Nazis and the gas chambers of Treblinka. After the war she completed her medical studies and spent her life caring for children with tuberculosis. Her memoirs, I Remember Nothing More: the Warsaw children's hospital and the Jewish Resistance (1988), have never been published officially in Poland.
