  I see only a few articles on google, mostly people in europe commemorating .
Why isn't this an important news story today?
 I recall the seventy fifth anniversary of D Day was huge.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Book recommendation: Ordinary Men

Movie: Defiance. The DVD extras where they talk to living descendants of the Polish terrorists is worth the price alone.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

We had nothing to do with it.

Mordechai Anielewicz, one of the great heroes of the modern age.

I also call out his fellows who took on a fight they could never win, but showed it's best to fight and maybe die than be shipped off to be murdered at some psycopath's whim.

If you've never seen this, it's pretty cool.

Short film about the commemoration.

A slightly longer one with some really good imagery.
