THIS STORY:
In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old bartender, was raped and stabbed outside the apartment building where she lived in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City, New York, United States. Two weeks after the murder, it was reported that 38 witnesses saw or heard the attack, and that none of them called the police or came to her aid.

THIS CHANNEL:
_________________________________________________________
The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.

We learned about Kitty’s story in one of my psychology classes. They made it sound like people where waiting for someone else to do something, but if you hear the eyewitness accounts, no one was waiting for anything. Most CONSCIOUSLY decided to nothing. They didn’t want to be bothered. Or they where scared. That’s not waiting for someone else to do something. Its a decision to do nothing. Rest In Peace, beautiful Kitty. At least your horrible death is not completely forgotten. Just used in a misconstrued psychology study.

This case was the crux of a Phil Ochs song called " Outside of a small circle of friends" . If you don't know who he was , he wrote topical songs bringing to light issues of the day . Good stuff indeed from both you and Phil !

@thedativecase9733 2 года назад

Phil Ochs didn't mind being controversial. He used to sing a song called "F*** You JFK" He had a concert the night of Kennedy's assassination - with women weeping in the audience - and not only sang this song but invited the audience to sing along. He barely got out alive!

@swedeheart214 2 года назад

Thanks, Ron, for yet another tragic, but touching, story. I don't know how many cemetaries do this, but here on the Southside of Chicago, most cemeteries I'm familiar with will do maintenance on a grave if someone just calls the office to let them know. I've had sunken headstones leveled, overgrown plants, weeds, etc, covering a grave, cut back and trimmed. It doesn't even need to be a family member. Just something to pass along to your subscribers. In a lot of cases, only elderly family or friends are left, and can't do it themselves. ♥️🌼

@jujubee344 2 года назад

I was a kid growing up on Long Island in the 1960s. Everybody knew about Kitty Genovese. It was very well known and talked about, referred to in news stories, etc. At this point, though, yeah, I guess she's more or less forgotten. Most of the people who knew her personally are dead or quite old.

@breeyoung8777 2 года назад

I was 10 and living at the shore in Jersey. It must have been a big story bc me, my friends, everybody knew what happened to poor kitty genomes. I've never forgotten her name and the sense of dread I felt - that this could actually happen to a girl in her own neighborhood. Great work Ron

@karenaubrey5737 2 года назад

Kitty Genovese seemed like an independent young woman who had a promising future! What happened was a horrible crime in so many ways, just brutal. She was the victim of monsters both perpetrators and those who just ignored! She was robbed of her life and the world was robbed too. I was heartened to see your yellow rose for Kitty. Ron, you paid respects to this young woman in a caring way and shed light on her story. Rest in Peace Kitty and the family!🙏🌹

@yoclark2723 2 года назад

I remember this case and was terrified that people actually were this evil. This is where the phrase "I don't want to get involved" started. It was huge back then. Those two guys and the rest of the neighbors were pilloried in the press. It is so sad that no one takes care of her grave.

@annehoskins5795 2 года назад

I heard this story when I was a child. As a teenager in the '70's our history teacher said some of the witnesses were ruthless enough to go to their kitchens to get a beer, turn out their lights to get a better view and "enjoy" the show. If they did not want to get involved with police, they could have at least called an ambulance so she could live long enough to speak for herself. By the way, the perp was probably an incel.

@azzurragrasso8846 2 года назад

The murder of Kitty Genovese was told in the television series Cold Case precisely because it is so absurd, so incredible, an example of how now we are used to washing our neighbor's hands, we prefer to turn our heads away. In Kitty's case it is crazy how the neighbors were indifferent to the screams of an injured woman, at least go out to see what happens, or call the police, there was no risk with a simple phone call and perhaps Kitty would be saved. What a shame ... R.I.P poor soul ...

@sharonmartinoff3210 2 года назад

All those guys had to do was bring her up to the apartment and get her out of the hall way. What was wrong with them? OMG!!! I remember a tv movie based on this case. I agree, that is why people don't care about going to jail. They live better in jail than on the outside. There is no deterrent to stay out of prison. Such a sad story. He looked like a crazy person.

So heartbreaking! Cowards! There is a local mystery in the locale of where I live. His name was Derrick Kucera, I went to school with him, he ate lunch with us, sweetest guy. He left school on October 27th, 1986, lived in Hillsboro, Alabama. His Mother and Father both worked, so when he went home they were at work. He had removed his wallet and car keys and simply disappeared into thin air. There has been no sign or evidence in this case, it is a "cold case" now. Local gossip is he was murdered and buried in a cave that was sealed off afterward. I have no clue, but his smiling face and sweet nature still haunts me to this day, such a nice guy!

So so heartbreaking 🕯🥀 Her name is written Gods heart fo eternity, that’s for sure ❤️ Unimaginable that nobody didn’t do anything to help her. How did they manage to watch their faces i n the mirror every morning for the rest of their useless lives?

@Belushi87 2 года назад

there’s a show called “a crime to remember” and her case was one of the episodes. it was called “38 witnesses” you should check out the show and hope that it will inspire you for future videos.

@tyeishawilliams1812 2 года назад

This is a sad story. They all do not care and even her friend did not help her. They all are full of it. It shows who are your real friends. I believe in that so much. She does not deserve this at all, and may she rest in peace. Great job neighbors and friends. Sad story. Thanks for the story.

@Barbarra63297 2 года назад

When I was a kid in Catholic grade school, the nun or lay teacher would pass out the Catholic Chronicle to each student, I was in 4th grade. The stories in this Chronicle were very adult oriented. In one issue (it was a weekly publication) was the story of Kitty Genovese and I remember even as a kid how it hurt my heart that no one came to her rescue. :(

@JSB1882 Год назад

That is such a sick story - I can't believe no one came to her to help. Can you imagine someone screaming for help and no one doing anything! She would have done really well in the world given the chance. I don't think anyone serving life is enjoying themselves which is how it should be. Also that is a beautiful cemetery!

@kjs9203 2 года назад

God bless the ones who bring forward these stories of the forgotten, and I can't think of anybody who is more qualified than Ron, with his expertise in the way he delivers his presentation's is second to none.

Heard that story as a kid growing up in Brooklyn. It served as a horrible lesson to never turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to cries for help, and never assume someone else will call the cops.

@Only1forme75 Год назад

Same here, I heard this story many times growing up in Brooklyn although she was murdered 5 yrs before I was born. The story got more attention as years go by. If only someone paid attention and did something while it was happening she may have lived a long full life but it was taken from her by a monster who I hope is forgotten in hell.

Famous case, frequently studied - we all need to remember the precious woman tragically murdered, when she might have been saved. I was stunned when first hearing this story in high school - growing up in Texas, none of us could process that no one came to her aide. The vile murderer will stand before the Lord and only then shall justice be done. I hope to make a trip to New England in the fall to visit a friend and will try to visit her grave, if possible.

@barbarakauppi9915 2 года назад

Perhaps her resting place has been neglected, but Kitty is most certainly not forgotten. I first heard about her terrible story a very long time ago. I remember her and I remember her name, which is no small miracle as for names. Coincidentally, her name and story have come up quite often lately as a terrible reference to stone cold callous apathy, as we see so much of it around to such a tragic degree. After all this time her story is just as horrific and chilling as ever. Thank you for keeping her story alive. RIP Kitty.
