1/ Our reporters spend months tracking down hard-to-find people and digging up secret documents. They knock on doors and work the phones until they get answers.

They do this with a simple goal: create impact that leads to positive change.

2/ We investigated the shocking number of rape cases that go unsolved in the US every year. In response, the Texas Legislature created the Sexual Victims Task Force to reform how rapes are tracked, investigated, and prosecuted across the state.

1/70
After WW2, Allied authorities determined that Deutsche Bank had actively supported the Nazi regime and maintained close ties to officials like Himmler; and was also been involved in appropriating assets of financial institutions in countries occupied by the Nazis.
2/70
The Allied forces in occupied Germany divided the bank into 10 regional institutions, and then into 3. One each for the north, central, and southern regions of West Germany. The operations were reunited in 1957 and allowed to function under the Deutsche Bank name once again.
