FILE - This Oct. 17, 2012 file photo shows a flu shot administered in Jackson, Miss. More children than ever got vaccinated against the flu last year, and health officials are urging families to do even better this time around. A severe flu strain swept the country last winter, sparking a scramble for last-minute vaccinations. There's no way to predict if this year will be as bad. But protection requires a yearly vaccine, either a shot or nasal spray. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday it's time for people to start getting immunized.

This undated handout photo provided by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, taken June 6, 2013, shows wooden barracks that housed prisoners at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, at the museum in Washington. The museum is returning one of its most powerful artifacts to Poland: a wooden barracks that once housed prisoners at the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. The Washington Post reports the World War II-era barracks are being returned after the end of a long-term loan from the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum. The barracks, a centerpiece of the museum, have been at the museum since its opening in 1993. (AP Photo/United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)
