PugJesusRare moment when Hitler had taste. If only all of his fellow Nazis followed suit...
דער קערפער פֿון השם"Administrators at a small-town #highschool in western #Pennsylvania scurried this week to assure parents and media that neo-#Nazism is frowned upon after a #student contributed a quote promoting #Holocaust denialism to the annual yearbook of #FranklinRegionalSeniorHighSchool.
According to local news outlets, the student slipped the quote “271k or not enough” past the #yearbook committee’s editors, none of whom knew its connection to the #neoNazi community’s belief that #NaziGermany killed nowhere near the 6 million #Jews murdered in #WorldWarII.
As explained by the #AntiDefamationLeague (#ADL), the false “271k” figure emerged from a pseudo-historical claim that the #RedCross kept internal documents reporting that #AdolfHitler’s regime murdered no more than 300,000 Jews, a fabrication the organization has discredited numerous times." 🙃
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDAs #NaziGermany suffered defeat after defeat, it turned to reprisal killing in occupied territories, which only encouraged more resistance. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1944, they hanged 99 civilians from lampposts in #Tulle, France, in response to partisans killing 40 Nazi occupiers.
#Syria & #Lebanon became independent countries out of #WorldWarII conditions. To secure the eastern Mediterranean, Britain, with #FreeFrench backing, launched the #SyriaLebanonCampaign on #ThisDayInHistory in 1941, to deny #VichyFrance & #NaziGermany a foothold in the region.

I know the Second World War arc was popular, but let's face it, the writers got lazy
The actual most interesting man in the world.
"[A]s #Morin always insisted, truth is complex. So, too, was his career, which in many ways reflects the origin story of the #French #intellectual. Born as #EdgarNahoum in #Paris in 1921, his parents were #Jewish immigrants from #Salonica, a city that had been home to #Greece’s largest Jewish community until #WorldWarII. (Nearly 90% of the community, some 54,000 men, women, and children were eventually murdered in #Nazi #deathcamps.) A precocious student, #Nahoum spent his days in libraries studying #German philosophers like #Hegel and his nights in cinemas studying French films directed by the likes of #MarcelPagnol.
Yet everything changed, including his name, come #France’s defeat and #occupation by #NaziGermany in 1940. Making his way to the Unoccupied Zone, the 20-year-old Nahoum, who had been a pacifist before the war, soon joined both the banned #CommunistParty and the #FrenchResistance."
