In 1935, S.S. head Heinrich Himmler established the Lebensborn Foundation, with a goal of preserving and protecting "pure German blood", where blond-haired, blue-eyed Aryan women were mated with S.S. soldiers or men of documented "racial purity". Lebensborn homes were also set up in most occupied countries, particularly Norway, and Aryan-looking children were kidnapped from occupied countries like Poland. We see how these people, bred to rule the world, have for the most part led shattered lives.

For three decades, it has been one of the most important tools in the fight against organized crime, leading to the conviction of thousands of dangerous criminals. But the Witness Protection Program is far from an unalloyed success, though the secrecy surrounding it has kept the complete story from becoming public knowledge. WITNESS PROTECTION reveals the shocking truth about the program with the help of insiders like former Federal Prosecutor Walter Mack, former U.S. Marshal Bud McPherson, and authors Jerry Capeci (The Murder Machine) and Fred Graham (The Alias Program).

The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud is a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image of a man who is alleged to be Jesus of Nazareth. It is kept in the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, which is located within a complex of buildings which includes the Turin Cathedral, the Royal Palace of Turin, and the Palazzo Chiablese in Turin, Piedmont, northern Italy. The cloth itself is believed by some to be the burial shroud that Jesus was wrapped in when he was buried after crucifixion. It is first securely attested in 1390, when a local bishop wrote that the shroud was a forgery and that an unnamed artist had confessed. Radiocarbon dating of a sample of the shroud material is consistent with this date.

The Rosetta Stone is a granodiorite stele, found in 1799, inscribed with three versions of a decree issued at Memphis, Egypt in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic script and Demotic script, respectively, while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. As the decree has only minor differences between the three versions, the Rosetta Stone proved to be the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs.
