No, this is not a joke. And, terribly relevant as we approach the anniversary of Kristalnacht.

Never Again? It’s Already Forgotten
Why should we care? Isn’t this ancient history and has no meaning?
No, it not only is relevant- it explains more than just what the study revealed.

Millennial Malaise
If you are younger than 40, some of this history may be news to you.
Many of my friends’ folks were children of the depression. They grew up in an economy in ruins, one where it was not clear from where the next dollar would come or what would be on the table for supper. That experience made many of these folks husband their cash, to preserve what they had for a rainy day. And, these parents wanted their kids to learn skills that would carry them through economic downturns and prosperity.

Berlin
We are continuing our journey through Berlin. The other days of Berlin were filled with great walks. Oh, sure, we took the Metro from our “close-in” bed and breakfast to the real city. (Note to self: NEVER do an AirBNB in the summer. Because most of those places lack air conditioning!)

Zero Tolerance
I wasn’t going to join in the parade of folks damning TheDonald and his immigration “policy”. Because the one thing folks can be sure of when TheDonald opens his mouth is that there is only untruths spouting therefrom.

When I was growing up, most of us knew certain dates and events. For example, my brother’s birthday was the day after one of the most important dates- 7 December. The day that President Roosevelt declared would forever remain “in infamy”. Or, the week before Flag Day (that’s 14 June, should you have fallen prey to the current ignorance) was D-Day, the 6th of June. (Do I have to tell you that this was the turning point for World War II, the day that the “Allies” launched a most audacious raid on Nazi-held France [Europe], with some 210,000 casualties during the battle to obtain a foothold in Normandy.)

H-h-holocaust m-m-memories
I’m not sure about this trip.
First of all, it may mean that my blog posts are going to appear at random times over the next few days. Because I will be traveling to places that may not have the best internet service (or, at all!)- and there is a significant time shift. But, that’s only part of the reasons why I’m not sure about this trip.

Tomorrow Night… What a night!
Saturday night starts a great holiday for me- Purim. (Purim means “Lots”- as in the lottery. But, it was only after a few twists and turns that we managed to eke out a win with this lottery.) My family tradition adds on a second day- Shushan Purim, the name for the second day; most Ashkenazi Jews rarely celebrate it- for them, it’s a one day holiday.

A Woman Pioneer
So, this holocaust survivor (from Leipzig, Germany) started a company when I was born. One that curried my curiosity enough to have purchased from it more times that I would probably care to admit. And, I was pretty confused as a tyke (I first purchased from this firm when I was 8), thinking I was dealing with a firm in the Virginia suburbs.
