This site looks at who was executed by their governments on this particular day.  Sort of a very micro-topic approach to “this day in history.”

Executed Today is a blog of history, sociology, biography, criminology, law, and kismet — an unrepresentative but arresting view of the human condition across time and circumstance from the parlous vantage of the scaffold.

Executed Today is a daily chronicle — each day the story of an historical execution that took place on this date, and the story behind it.

Some people are going to find this incredibly disturbing; others are going to see it as a necessary reminder of what we have been and often, what we continue to be.
