On #ThisDayInHistory in 1941, #Hitler held a meeting at the #ReichChancellery. The diary of #JosephGoebbels says: "Regarding the Jewish question, the Führer has decided to make a clean sweep. ... world war is here, the annihilation of the Jews must be the necessary consequence."

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: Mohrenstrasse U-Bahn station, Berlin. Sited close to Hitler's Reich Chancellery, when the U-Bahn was refurbished after WWII, the decor was reputed to recycle the red marble from the destroyed Nazi building.

The Soviet War Memorial in Treptower Park is similarly clad.
