On This Day In History
1942: Himmler decides to do medical experiments on Auschwitz prisoners

Quote Of The Day
"A consequence of the over-privileged woman is that in America no man any more dares to look at a girl, since otherwise he will be bought before the marriage court and made to pay for it. In America, homosexuality is absolutely a defensive measure for the men because they have fallen into such slavery to the women. The women can behave like an axe there; she just starts hacking away on something. She is never rebuked: the best example of tyranny by women!

There is no danger among us, however, that the chivalry of the man be overpowered and exploited by the other side, since the women in Germany by habit and education are not inclined to do that ...... It is vital we rid ourselves of homosexuals; like weeds we must pull them up, throw them on the fire and burn them. This is not out of a spirit of vengeance, but of necessity; these creatures must be exterminated."
(Heinrich Himmler)

I'm sorry that today's quote is so ugly, but I think it is worth remembering the horrors that have been committed in the not so distant past by so called "civilised" human beings, especially when the same thing is already happening again.

Thankfully, I had a lovely day on my first day of Summer School and, with an outdoor temperature of 37 degrees, I was happy to make use of the school's air conditioner.
