June 24, 1973: An arson attack against an LGBTQ+ bar in New Orleans, Louisiana known as the Up Stairs (or Upstairs) Lounge kills 32 people. Although no one is charged with or convicted of causing the fire, a patron who had been ejected from the bar earlier that day is considered a suspect.
June 24, 2006: Three men in Pretzien, eastern Germany, burn copies of Anne Frank’s diary and the American flag in apparent support of the Nazis. The members of a far-right-wing group are charged with incitement of racial hatred.
June 24, 2023: Hikers in the San Gabriel Mountains of San Bernardino County, California, discover human remains. These turn out to be the remains of actor Julian Sands, age 65, who had been reported missing after failing to return from a hike on January 13, 2023. Winter storms, avalanches, and record snowfall in the area had hindered the search for him, although eight official searches were conducted during the five months he was missing.
