Officials said that the hospital, which is in one of the city’s poorer neighborhoods, had no smoke detectors, sprinkler system or fire hoses, and that flammable material used in the ward’s false ceilings allowed the fire to spread quickly. Doctors and rescuers described a hospital crowded with relatives of patients despite what was supposed to be a ban on most visitors to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Because of a lack of nursing staff, Iraqi hospitals, even in Covid wards, require a relative to help look after a patient.

Andra Day as Billie Holiday in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday.”Takashi Seida/Paramount Pictures/Hulu When Billie Holiday first performed “Strange Fruit” in 1939, the song was so bold for the time that she could sing it only in certain places where it was safe to do so. The song likened the lynched bodies of Black people to “strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.” Its message — conveyed with lines like “Pastoral scene of the gallant South, the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth” — was immensely controversial. Ahmet Ertegun, the legendary music executive, hailed it as “a declaration of war” and “the beginning of the civil rights movement.” But though many believed Holliday was responsible for the song’s chilling lyrics, it was in fact written by Abel Meeropol, a white Jewish schoolteacher in the Bronx, after he saw a photograph of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Marion, Ind., in 1930. It was first published as a poem in the New York teachers’ union magazine in 1937. In the 21st century, “Strange Fruit” has lived on, sampled in the 2000 song “What’s Really Going On,” in which the singer Dwayne Wiggins recounts an episode of racial profiling at the hands of the police in Oakland, Calif. And as the nation continues to reckon with a series of killings of unarmed Black people by the police, “Strange Fruit” has maintained its place in the national conversation about racism.
