What's the first major news story you can remember living through as a child?

I was born in 1941 and grew up with an awareness of WW2 in process, the GIs being away, the war end and all the war movies. Later, I must have been 7 or 8 and and looking through 4 or 5 year old editions of Life Magazine and seeing the images of the Holocaust. Until then my awareness of the war was as portrayed in war movies with heroic GIs.
